Callie is a young governess working for the Bridgeport family. She travels with them to Bridal Veil Island where they vacation for the winter. The three young children are drawn to her, and she enjoys this more laid back family, but she has many things on her mind. What is the next step going to be in her life? Her parents are missionaries in Africa and would love for her to join them. Is that the way God is leading her? Or should she continue the job in front of her?
Honesty is very important to Callie, and when she starts spending more time with Wesley Townsend, one of the children's golf instructors, she begins to care for him. But will she allow him to take more of her heart when she finds out the truth about who he really is? Will she be able to let go of her past and allow herself to be cared for by someone in return?
For a historical fiction piece, it read very much like a modern story. Near the end of the book is when more of the history of the early 1900s started appearing. The characters were enjoyable to get to know, and the author kept surprises coming, which kept you on your feet.
This book was reviewed for Bethany House Publishers.
