About the book:
Journey now to San Francisco, California, of 1853 where an English socialite finds more treasure than expected on her trip to the American West.
When Abby Effingham becomes stranded in the middle of the California gold rush, her money depletes quickly even while her prospects for marriage increase daily. But Abby is on a mission to find her mother—not romance. Will a ridiculous scandal keep her from traveling on, or will it wake up an aloof innkeeper to the treasure right under his roof?
Samuel Harris runs a moderately priced hotel where Abby and her family’s elderly butler find shelter. He is looking forward to when she—and her parade of suitors—move on, though he concedes to let her work in his restaurant. When the sassy socialite is in trouble, will Samuel come to her rescue or find himself alone?
My review:
This is a wonderful historical romance!
I love the whole cast of main characters. They are an incredibly diverse group of people. I liked finding out the stories of how each of them came to be in San Francisco. I didn’t expect to find so many of them but I can’t even start to leave any out. There are Abigail, Neville, Sam, Cookie, and a few others. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing how much scripture is quoted and how the Lord is relied on.
The plot kept my attention as I saw Abigail’s journey into being a truly mature young woman. It amazes me to think about the fact that most of us consider ourselves adults long before we are truly ready to make mature decisions for our lives.
I’m giving this wonderful book a rating of 5 stars. I definitely recommend it. It had an extra measure of interest for me since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
