This is a wonderful Victorian Prince and the Pauper type story. I very much enjoyed this book. It was interesting to watch each girl mature and realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Both young ladies found themselves relying on God as they never had before as they find themselves trapped in situations of their own making.
It made me think about how we often rush ahead without God and try to manipulate life to fit our desires, and find ourselves in dire consequences. I like the way the author gave detailed insight into how poor immigrants lived during that era and the ridiculously wealthy. I felt like I was there with the girls, experiencing both lifestyles during this time in history. I highly recommend this book.
