What a story--shows contrast between how some family members are awful to each other when they could certainly afford to be better, and how those with the least offer the most love. Loved the strong main character, Lydia, who was able to overcome all her rotten circumstances.  Sad how women were dependent on others during that time period. Also loved how the family who treated her so terribly got their just reward at the end! It also helped that Lydia finally got her man!***Update:  I want to thank Ms. Church for actually reading these reviews--I know she does because she took the time to read my review, and commented on my review.  This is the only author so far who has done this.  This truly says something about the kind of person she is, and definitely makes me want to read more of her books.  Thank you again Ms. Church for your passion for writing, and caring about your readers.
