Dreams Quote by Alissa Johnson
““Dreams of freedom and country cottages were all well and good, but Anna rather thought that she was nothing, if not practical. She would likely never have that cottage, never have true freedom. And she would almost certainly never have a chance such as this again. Let them call her the Ice Maiden of Anover House, she thought. She would know differently. She, and no one else.””
