This is a new author for me. She tackled a difficult subject in an earlier time period when there were no easier answers than there are now. The opening was intriguing but difficult to follow at first. It took a while before the story behind the heroine could be fleshed out.
Kit and her friend Daphne along with another woman Jess are running a home for illegitimate children and blackmailing the fathers for payment to support their offspring while assisting the mothers to keep their secrets and re-enter society with none the wiser.
But Kit meets Graham Lord Wharton and her opinion of men is forced to change when he inadvertently discovers where she has hidden herself away and discovers whom the children are and how she is trying to care for them.
Kit tells him of the tragedy that started everything for her and Daphne and about the guilt and shame she carries. He tries to persuade her that how she is going about things is all wrong and that God's grace is sufficient. But Kit has to learn the hard way and their budding romance seems doomed from the start.
This is an entertaining read and the series should be worth following. I recommend it for your summer reading and give it 4 stars. I received this from Bethany House through netgalley for my honest review.
