Evelyn Wisely pours her heart into her work at the orphanage for neglected children of prostitutes in Teaville, Kansas. Newcomer businessman David Kingsman feels trapped by his father's expectations in business and love but finds a way forward when he stumbles upon an opportunity to help Evelyn. It is no surprise that he is captivated by Evelyn's beauty and compassion, but she holds a secret that could ruin her reputation and her chance at finding love with David. The truth will challenge their convictions and illuminate the power of forgiveness and hope. In this satisfying installment in her Teaville Moral Society series, following A Heart Most Certain (2016), Jagears interlaces social justice and Christian duty with a rousing message of morality and goodwill. Her protagonist is noble and fervently sincere, and her characters realistically face the stigmas of prostitution and the challenges that accompany reform, as Jagears incisively dramatizes the tension of Good-Samaritan efforts led by women within the strict class divisions of the early 1900s. Fans of Judith Miller's Refined by Love series will enjoy this inspirational novel.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2017, American Library Association.)
