Irene really is brave. Irene lives up over a mountain with her mother who is a dressmaker. She has completed a dress for the duchess who's party is tonight, the night of a vicious snow storm. Irene's mother is ill and can't take the dress. Irene puts her mother to bed, wraps up in warm clothes and takes the dress through a blizzard and the wilderness to the duchess. It's so windy that it blows the box away. Irene keeps going so she can tell the duchess what happened. What happens next? We'll have to see.
I recommend this book because it shows the love from a daughter to her dear mother. Irene preserves and doesn't give up. She truly is wonderful.
