About the
book:
To escape a scheme to
marry her off to a dishonorable man, Margaret Macy flees London disguised as a
housemaid. If she can remain unwed until her next birthday, she will receive an
inheritance, and with it, sweet independence. But she never planned on actually
working as a servant. And certainly not in the home of Nathaniel and Lewis
Upchurch--both former suitors.
As she fumbles through
the first real work of her life, Margaret struggles to keep her identity secret
when suspicions arise and prying eyes visit Fairbourne Hall. Can she avoid a
trap meant to force her from hiding?

My thoughts on the book:
First, I just love this time period (1800s!) such an elegant, great way of life. I love the innocent act of courting, the faith in God, the dresses... oh the dresses!
My first Julie Klassen novel ever, and I must say I am hooked! I loved the way her words painted pictures in my mind, how I could feel the pain of Nora's raw hands, the ache of her back, the pain of rejecting and the fear she felt. Not only did Julie paint a great romance story, she intertwined a murder thrill as well!
I was intrigued by the character development of Nora and how she really came into her self by the situations that God put her in. I loved how not only were her eyes opened to the life of the servants, but the entire Upchurch household's eyes were opened, and thus (if the story were true) probably changed the lives of many!
The genuine love of God in Nathaniel Upchurch was contagious to his servants, sister and let's hope his brother!
Thank you for such a great love story! I look forward to reading more of Julie's books in the future!
I was sent this book by Litfuse for my honest review. I was not paid to give positive feedback, with either money or gifts.
