About this ebook

Phillip Brown wakes up one bitter November morning to find a woman near frozen on the stoop of the Baltimore home he shares with his sister and uncle. The unconscious woman eventually awakens, unwilling to share who has terrified her while she makes a recovery in the Brown home. He continues his work at the Wiest Oyster Cannery and pouring beer on occasion at his neighborhood brewery while guarding his family from dangerous criminals’ intent of silencing his discoveries about the woman.

Daughter of the Wiest Oyster Cannery owner, Virginia Wiest hears the story of the unconscious woman by chance and is intrigued and determined to help. Deemed sickly as a young girl and cossetted by a widowed father, Virginia is drawn to helping the less fortunate and aiding Brown unravel the mystery surrounding the woman and her missing child.

When Virginia makes an ill-fated attempt to save the child, Phillip finds himself and his heart in danger. The daring rescue from a well-heeled brothel nearly ends him and his dreams.

This historical mystery includes a Happy for Now (HFN) conclusion.

I fell in love with the characters in this story. The Browns are so down to earth and feel like home. I could sympathize with Ms Weist, unlike most main female characters she has to stop and breathe and makes mistakes due to being naïve. She puts herself in danger to save others. Mr Brown is such a great man. He stands up for what he believes in and is willing to fight for it. I will be reading the rest of the books in the series!
