For those of you who like historical romances, I've found a new author whom I'm going to add to my favorites list. This book, the first in a series stole my heart. I loved, loved, loved it five stars.
Grace Abernathy leaves her home in England to travel to Canada in the New World to find her sister and her new born nephew. When she arrives, she finds her sister has passed away and her nephew is in the hands of in-laws that her sister's letters indicated were not the friendliest or kindest of people.
Grace sets out to find out how her nephew fares and ends up through a series of events becoming his nanny under an assumed last name. She quickly becomes friends with Virginia and Andrew Easton the siblings of her sister's deceased husband. Andrew is now her nephew's guardian.
Andrew and Grace are drawn to each other and she soon learns he is a good man and one she can trust to love and care for his nephew; but she doesn't know how to let him know who she really is and ,besides, Andrew is courting another who doesn't care for the child.
There are so many delightful twists and turns in this story of tragedy, love, and forgiveness. Even though we have the "Best of Intentions" our words and actions can harm those we love and care about the most.
It deserves a place on your keeper shelf. Thanks to Bethany House for allowing me to read this novel through Netgalley.
