About this ebook

The heartrending and hope-building stories of two young women in 1840s Massachusetts

Jasmine Wainwright is the sheltered daughter of a Mississippi plantation owner. When her father strikes a deal to sell his cotton to Lowell mills through businessman Bradley Houston, he throws an arranged marriage with Jasmine into the bargain.

Kiara O'Neill and her brother escape starvation in Ireland by traveling to America as Bradley Houston's indentured servants. But Bradley has more in mind for Kiara than she wants to imagine.

Both women suffer in the home of this unloving husband and merciless master. Will God somehow bring hope to their lives?

Women suffer at the hands of men in an age when women were often considered little more than property. Yet the suffering builds grace, endurance and empathy for others in less fortunate circumstances.

The book takes the reader on a journey during the early industrialization period which is permeated with a young woman's emotional and spiritual growth into maturity. It's a good story though drawn out at times with odd transitions in weaving the story together. There are unanswered questions which leaves the reader wondering what happens next. It will be interesting to read the next book.

It's a story that was set during the early industrialization period vividly describing the struggles & sufferings of women. However, it was presently with careful use of words that gives the readers clear mental image of the social panorama with faith in God.
