About this ebook

Can a newly Christian young man convince his mother's maid that his love for her is worth more than his inherited life of luxury?

Josie is content as a maid in a rich cottager's mansion along the Cliff Walk of beautiful Newport, Rhode Island, but the arrival of her employer's handsome, pensive son tempts her into a relationship that while chaste, is forbidden between their social classes in the Gilded Age of 1893.

After travels abroad have led Arthur in search of a deeper connection with his Lord, he returns home to find love with his mother's maid, a Christian girl with a heart full of love and charity. Can they overcome their families' refusal to accept their attachment, or is their relationship doomed from their very first meeting on the romantic Cliff Walk?

Josie Warren works as a maid for the Davenports, the richest family in Newport, Rhode Island. She doesn't have marriage prospects but desires a man with Christian values. Arthur Davenport arrives home after living for several years in Europe. He meets Josie and begins a friendship with her despite the situation she works for him. The friendship develops into love as their position in society comes between them. I thought the book was well written. I enjoy the plot of two different classes coming together for love. The book was full of Josie and Arthur thinking about each other. It didn't have any suspense. As a reader, I wanted them to do something. Eventually, they worked toward building a homeless shelter, but it took a long time to establish a goal. I like secondary stories so I enjoyed the potential romance between Josie's mother and the doctor.

I really enjoyed this book it reminded me so much of a Grace Livingston Hill book in the way the characters related to God and each other. I will definitely be reading more of this series and this author!
