__When tragedy steals her future, can Leah learn to trust again?__  
  
It is the autumn of 1920, and Leah Breckenridge is desperate to find a way to provide for her young daughter. After losing her husband and infant son, she is angry at God and fearful about the days ahead. Finding refuge in a boardinghouse run by her late husband's aunt, Leah begins the slow process of mending her heart.

I started out feeling rather cool towards this book and finished it wondering why I had felt like that about such a good read! Set in 1920s America, Leah and Josiah tell their own stories. Both have tragic histories and they come together in the house of a wonderful older widow lady, Aunt Marigold. Leah has lost her husband in an accident and her frail baby son to illness, she is destitute and it is impossible to seek shelter with her harsh Father, so she accepts the offer of her husband?s Aunt, though it means that she and her young daughter Eliza need to make a long train journey. A thing Leah is terrified of doing, she knows not why. The story of how the lives of all these characters and others are transformed makes for an absorbing read you will not regret starting ? and once started you will be compelled to continue as I was.
