What will it take for a once-privileged young woman to make her way in the world?
It isn't Cassie Haddon's fault that she has reached the age of twenty-five without possessing any useful skills. Until the War Between the States, she always had servants. Since then, she and her mother have been forced to rely on family to care for them. But now the well of human kindness has run dry--and Cassie must find work to support them.
Unfortunately, leaving the past behind is easier said than done, and Cassie must summon all of her courage and wits to convince local restaurateur and grocer Jacob West that she's exactly what his business needs.
With her signature sweet romance, Ann Shorey weaves a tale of two people from different backgrounds finding common ground and the hope of a bright future together.

Cassie Haddon has reached 25 years old and during the time of the War Between the States she is consider a spinster. After the war she finds herself without anyone to rely on but herself. For someone who used to have servants it is a horrible situation. She has family that will no longer help her and her mother and she needs to find a way to survive. She has to work hard and convince a man named Jacob West that he needs her help in his place of business. I love the way that they were able to find happiness and a future even though their pasts were totally different. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing and all opinions are my own.

It's interesting that some still have the view that marriage is the only way a woman is of any use. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the way the story played out.
