About this eBook
Born into affluence, Mia Stanley is a winsome socialite with a knack for matchmaking. She's also a writer for Godey's Lady's Book magazine, much to the disdain of her family--and their society friends. A proper young lady of her social standing isn't meant to labor in such a way, but Mia has always had a way with words...
When her writing draws her into the world of downtrodden seamen's wives on Philadelphia's docks, Mia uncovers a scheme that puts her in harm's way. But her heart ends up on the line as well...Has her determination to always make a match driven away the one man whose esteem she covets?

Characters and situations not well developed. Makes the book hurried and shallow. Starts with an introduction to Mia being a matchmaker, and then instantly changes to focus soley on her work as a writer. Two pages later she suddenly quits her writing. Also, marching to the seedy part of town alone, to yell and threaten a rapist= stupidity in any era. Blames Garrett's frustrations with her stupid decisions, on being a woman as if she is being discriminated against and has to fight for freedom. Annoying

I have enjoyed this book from page 1! There was never a dull moment with Mia Stanley as the heroine. And no one could have been as great a champion as Garrett Wilson. Mia frustrated me at times, getting herself into dangerous situations, but Garrett was always nearby to rescue the headstrong lady in distress. Tracie Peterson is a superb author, making me feel so strongly for her characters as only she can do. Through it all I was reminded that God is always there for us!

This story was action from beginning to end. Also, this story had a lot of advice about how to live for the Lord. I know this was set in a different time period, but the things of God remains the same, unchanging forever.
