I generally like this author. She can be a little edgey, so if you're looking for a "sweet" historical fiction, this isn't the book for you.

I was slightly disappointed in this book. I was attracted to the premise (aging spinster who takes matters into her own hands). But I felt she made moral compromises and wasn't grounded in her faith in making her decisions. So I was disappointed in how things were resolved. I don't have a problem with the conclusion, but wish the author had use the conflicts to develop the main character's faith earlier in the book (seemed like she was rushing the changes in the end of the book).

I think the story continues in the next book, and may resolve in a way I like.
