Sadie has been at the Raystown Home for Orphan and Friendless Children since she was very young. As she grew, she felt like she had to make up for her past. When the opportunity comes up for her to become the matron of the Home, she agrees. She's been in love with Blaine for many years and hopes that the pay increase will help them gather the money they need to buy property together faster. The head of the Home can't be married, but Sadie doesn't see this as a problem since she knows that Blaine needs more time to raise the money he needs.
The problem is that Blaine had planned on surprising Sadie with the land that he has just purchased. When Sadie is told and breaks the news that she has no plans of going back on her word to run the Home, they feel like they have hit an impasse. In her efforts to forget Blaine, Sadie tries to fill her head with another man, but she just can't shake her feelings for Blaine. On top of that, her extra responsibilities at the Home are wearing her down. Will there be a solution to the problems at the Home as well as her relationship with Blaine?
This was a fairly decent read, but there weren't any surprises. It was a well written book, but the story line is predictable. I got a little annoyed at the way Sadie treated Blaine over and over again. While I could appreciate the moral inserted of God's timing being perfect, it didn't end up being one of my favorite books. It was still a decent read and I'll still be on the lookout for more from this author. Decent Book!
