Lily (Song of the River)
“Camellia’s expression was filled with hope, yearning, and optimism.
Lily sighed and touched her sister’s pretty curls with a finger. Her heart was tearing in half. Camellia had not thrived on the river like she and Jasmine had. Where they had enjoyed searching for the next adventure around the bend, Camellia had been happiest when they were staying with the Thorntons in New Orleans. But to separate the three of them? And would Camellia be truly happy here, or would she find herself in a situation similar to the one that had made Lily purchase the Hattie Belle in the first place? “What about Aunt Dahlia?”
Camellia’s face sparkled like sunshine hitting the surface of the river. “She’s promised me an exciting season now that I’m old enough to be a debutante. I may even find a husband by Christmas.”
Concern flashed through Lily. Camellia was not mature enough to be responsible for a household and children. “You’re only fifteen. Don’t be in such a hurry to grow up.”
