Where to Purchase
My review,
General Seamus Ogilvy has finally made it home. He is back with his young son who he had leave because of the war. Now, he is back but, his wife has died so he has to raise his on alone. Sophie Menzies is very happy that he has come home, Sophie is without money and does not have any idea what to do so she says that she will marry Seamus and help with his daughter. Then a horrible woman returns and their arrangement might not even by legal. What will happen to Sophie if she is made to leave? I liked this book and the characters. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Revell Publishing and all opinions are my own.
