How can she 'keep the peace' when there's never been any peace to keep?England, 1850. Bookworm Irene Denton lives with a painful secret. The citizens of Lindenfell think her mother is a kind, generous lady—but behind closed doors, she's a cruel tyrant, ruling her household with vitriol and violence. Stories have always been Irene’s refuge, so when the possibility arises that Lindenfell might soon have a library of its own, Irene is hopeful she’ll soon have a safe place to escape her mother’s merciless grasp.
Solomon Shaw enjoys helping his widowed father run Lindenfell's chemist shop. He longs to pluck up the courage to win Irene's affections, but the burdensome guilt of a shameful secret has convinced Solomon she can never be his. When the figure from his past he hoped never to see again arrives back in town, Solomon fears they will shatter his warm, steady relationship with his father and expose his secret.
Amidst untold pressures, Irene and Solomon kindle hope for a future together. Yet, meddling interlopers and long-buried truths soon signal the end of their story.
But is the book entirely closed on the hope they once had? Or can a new chapter of peace and love still be written?
Brimming with faith and intrigue, this Christian Victorian romance from award-winning author Edwina Kiernan will encourage and delight you long after you turn the last page.
