Publisher Description

No one wanted you. But I did.

Kat's true identity is a secret, even from her. All she has ever known are Grace and Anna and their small village. Kat wants more—more than hours spent embroidering finery for wealthy ladies and more than Christian, the gentle young farmer courting her.

But there are wolves outside, Grace warns. Waiting, with their eyes glowing in the dark . . . and Grace has given Kat safety and a home when no one else would.

Then a stranger appears in their cottage, bringing the mystery of Kat's birth with her. In one night, Kat's destiny finds her: She will leave. She will journey to London, and her skill with the needle will attract the notice of the magnificent Queen Elizabeth—and of the wolves of the court. She will discover what Grace would never tell her.

Everything will unravel.

"I highly enjoyed this book! Though it was pretty obvious who Kat's parents were, I still found myself intrigued by all the clues she found. I loved seeing a softer side to Queen Elizabeth and really liked her and Kat's friendship. I wish we could have gotten more of Anna, though! "

    " The setting is Elizabethan England and the main character is a 16 year old girl that is searching to find out who she is. This was an engrossing historical fiction novel with a very determined main character. "

    " I instantly fell in love with the cover, too bad I didn't fall in love with the story. The Tudor England setting might be tried and true but it felt a little worn here. Telling the legendary (urban legend that is) story of Katherine Parr's (Henry VIII's last wife -- and the only one to out live him) long lost daughter, "The Stolen One" chronicles Kat's life first as a country girl who shows great talent for embroidery and then as a lady of Elizabeth I's court. She deals with all of the typical teenage trials with a dash of court intrigue for good measure. While I loved the idea of the plot, I never really like Kat, Anna, Grace or any of the others, and the development was slow and trying. Not one I will be recommending any time soon. "

    " For books that have come out lately about this time period this one is much cleaner. The main character was at times difficult to like, but I thought it taught some good lessons, and the ending was worth it. "
