Selected by Indie Booksellers for the December 2008 Indie Notables
“In the spirit of Dickens, this breathless historical suspense novel set in 1870s Britain follows an orphaned young woman on a mission: She's been sent as a maid to infiltrate the grand country house of Evenwood, uncover its venerable family's buried secrets, and put right the injustices that have clouded her life.”
-- Mark David Bradshaw, Watermark Books, Wichita, KS
