What the home represented for these girls was hope, peace, tranquility, and reformation.
Many of these unwed young ladies were able to conquer their fears and learn new skills to make them employable in the 1900's.
Lizzie and Maddie are our two main characters with much different views but similar outcomes.
Lizzie with her new baby girl in tow is destitute and alone while Maddie is full spitfire action.
In the current era of 2017 Cate the librarian and Laurel find documents that provide a history of the Berachah home and bonds these two ladies together.
The main characters made you feel and embrace every struggle, every hardship, every emotion to the full degree.
What ultimately occurred to Cate with Seth was not only unexpected but disasterous and showed just how hostile the environment had become. While Maddie eventually married it was not what one may have expected either as the first was quite rushed and eventually was annulled deemed illegal allowing her the freedom to pursue the man of her dreams.
All in all I enjoyed this new read and thank Goodreads for this giveaway.
