Leona Bryant really captured the essence of the underdog who invokes our sympathies and makes us feel like we are journeying beside her. It's a long book but for the hours that I read it I actually forgot I was reading - the immersion was so powerful and touching. A young girl (Shelly) leaves a life of abuse and ventures into the unknown to start a new life for herself. She learns things are harder on her own than she thought she could handle, but fortunately she befriends several people she works with and meets a mysterious man helps her along her path from rags to riches. Many years later she wonders... what happened to that man and who was he? That mystery is then embarked upon by two detectives. I find this mystery intriguing because it is a thought I've had about people in my life who impacted my destiny. There was a professor 15 years ago who saved my life, but I lost contact with him and he simply vanished. I think everyone has a example like this and it touched me. It is a story that appeals to real life.
