Charlotte Farrow,
maid in the wealthy Banning household on Chicago’s opulent Prairie Avenue, has
kept her baby boy a secret from her employers for nearly a year. But when the woman who has been caring for
her son abruptly returns him, Charlotte must decide whether to come clean and
face dismissal or keep her secret while the Banning’s decide the child’s
fate. Can she face the truth of her own
past and open her heart to a future of her own?
Or will life’s tragedies determine the future for her?
This compelling
story set against the glittering backdrop of the 1893 World’s Columbian
Exposition captures the tension between the wealthy class and the hardworking
servants who made their lives comfortable.
Author Olivia Newport expertly portrays social classes while creating a
story of courage, strength, and tender romance.
My Review:
I didn’t enjoy
this second novel as much as I did the first which was: “The Pursuit of Lucy
Banning”. I don’t feel it was written
nearly as well as the first part and the story wasn’t all that attention
holding either. I was really quite
disappointed however, I’m sure someone else will just love it.
