With this story, I come to the end of the GLASS SLIPPER BRIDES series, which makes me a little sad. I have enjoyed getting to know Rebecca, Marian, Grace, Hannah, Leah and Evangeline, discovering how each was marked by her experiences in a harsh charity school and seeing how they have overcome their pasts to find love and a happy future.
Evangeline Fairfax is the most resistant to marriage of all her friends. She believes the responsibility of a family will interfere with the Lord’s work she feels called to do. She also fears marriage will curb her strong will. Widowed mill owner Jasper Chase does not want his children to lose their capable, caring governess. But if Miss Fairfax is determined to leave, perhaps he should find a wife to manage his home so he can devote himself to improving the lives of his workers.
When Evangeline organizes a house party to find her employer a suitable bride, Jasper begins to realize he need seek no further than...her. But can he persuade the wedlock-shy governess that her special calling may include a loving family?
