Description: All Betsey Dobson has ever asked is the chance to be viewed on her own merits. But in a man's world, that is the unforgivable sin. Now Betsey disembarks from the London train in the seaside resort of Idensea with only a small valise and a canary in a cage. After attempting to forge a letter of reference, Betsey was fired. Her vigorous protest left one man wounded, another jilted, and her character besmirched. But her life is about to change ... because a young Welshman on the railroad quay is the one man willing to believe in her.
