Louise Watkins has her hands full. Her mother had been the town midwife, but when her daughter Alice died under her care, she refused to assist in a childbirth ever again. Since then Louise has assumed the work. She also takes care of her Alice's six-year old, Charlotte, because the child's father was lost in World War I. But Louise's principal job is running the boardinghouse that is the family's main source of income. One day, Charlotte befriends a stranger ill with influenza, a man who has taken refuge in an old cabin in the woods nearby. Although badly scarred by wounds suffered in the War, he is strong and slowly recovers. When he gradually takes on odd jobs around the house, Louise accepts his help. She is drawn to him despite his disfigurement, and his voice is comforting, vaguely familiar...

This book was a shock ? I can?t believe I read the whole thing! The story was plodding and turgid; the characters were uninteresting and rather cardboard-like in behavior.
This story takes place in the years following World War I. Rachel is holding her family together, with little help from the other adults in the family. She runs the family?s boardinghouse and has supplanted her mother as the town?s midwife.
Louise Watkins (the mother of Alice and Rachel), has retreated to her room on a full-time basis since the death of her favorite daughter (Alice). Uncle Otis is the town drunk. Charlotte, Alice?s daughter, is a pouty brat.
The main male character, Mason Tucker, offers a poor reason for abandoning his wife and father for 8 years! His brother, Zachary Tucker, is as wicked as they come. As the town?s banker, Zachary has used devious and violent methods to increase his wealth.
Frankly, I couldn?t care less about the people and what happened to them. The romance between Rachel and Mason moved slower than syrup sliding down a cold jar! Mason?s regrets were unbelievable and short-lived.
If you insist on reading this drivel, be sure you check it out from a library. It isn?t worth your hard-earned money!
