BACK OF THE BOOK BLURB
Can the power of love and the bond of family
triumph in a community that cannot accept either?
With the threat of a cholera epidemic at their heels, Darcie and Walter Goodwin join the Shakers, whose villages seem immune to the disease. It's meant to be temporary, but when Walter is killed in a riverboat accident, destitute Darcie has little choice but to stay with the Shakers. To complicate matters, she is expecting a baby conceived before she and her husband came to the Shaker village. Marital relationships are considered sinful in this celibate community, putting Darcie in a unique--and lonely-- position. Can the arrival of widower Flynn Keller and his headstrong daughter offer Darcie the hope of happiness?
MY REVIEW
The Shakers lead interesting lives, not sure I could do it. The author does a great job of explaining their ways and telling the story that I really enjoy reading about the Shakers. This story is has you pulling for Darcie to find a way to be able to be a mother to her baby and not just a sister. Will seeing the birth of a child and what the mother goes through change any of their minds and let her keep the baby in her room? I can recommend this book as a good read so grab a copy and enjoy.
