Amy Snow by Tracy Rees. Simon & Schuster Paperbacks, 2015.
When wealthy eight-year-old Aurelia Vennaway finds a naked baby in the snow, she takes it home and insists that it be raised along side her. Her strict parents totally disapprove, but the baby is named Amy Snow and grows up with Aurelia's loving instruction and care. When Aurelia dies in her twenties, Amy is devastated. But, there the adventure truly begins. Aurelia has left Amy letters surrounding a mystery. Amy has to figure out clues as the letters arrive. As Amy travels across England, she matures into an interesting young woman who makes friends, meets handsome eligible gentlemen, and solves the mystery. This reads a little like a Jane Austen novel with families and friendships sprinkled throughout.
