This was a heartwarming story. Florence and her brother, Anson, need to escape from their abusive father. Their saving grace comes in the form of a former stable hand who worked for their father, Evan. He takes them, along with Florence’s lady’s maid, Judy, to his family farm far away. When they finally are free of their traumatizing past, they are able to come to see their value and worth. The story follows their flee to safety and the life they build for themselves. I enjoyed seeing the characters face adversity and work to turn their unfortunate circumstances into a beautiful new life. There were a few twists near the end of the story. They came as a bit of a surprise and though the ending didn't necessarily end as nicely as I'd hoped, it was fitting and true to the story. The ending was bittersweet, much like many times in life. By fighting through adversity we can find true happiness. Thank you to Covenant Communications for the copy in exchange for a review.
