An Unexpected Sin was a sweet, young love story set in one of the eras in American history that we are ashamed of -- the witch trials in Salem, MA.Josiah Cromwell has returned to Salem after years away, following the death of his best friend, Samuel, brother of Anne. Fraught with guilt for young Samuel's death and packed off to school, Josiah dreams of being reunited with Anne, Samuel's younger sister whom Josiah fell in love with.Anne sorely missed Josiah after he left when her brother died. She not only lost her brother, but she lost her good friend and love interest, too. Josiah must prove his worth to her parents when he returns, but how does one beg for forgiveness for an accidental death?The story is sweet and romantic and you cheer for Josiah and Anne. You'll furrow your brow as the grandmother keeps saying cryptic things and it's only at the end where the truth comes out.Will Josiah and Anne be together? Will they have her parents' blessings? Will we finally understand what that grandmother has been uttering?Wonderful read, very enjoyable and romantic.
