Julia by Ashley Merrick
This story starts in 1896 and Julia works as a bookkeeper for a local company til her boss notifies her he sold the business as his health is not too well and the new owners can not use her services.
She has enough money to hold her over at the boarding house that she went to after she aged out of the orphanage 6 years prior. She plans to head to Montana where she will aid her friend Emma in a birth and tend to the other child in the family.
Emma' brother in law is keen on meeting her as she talked about her to Liam often.
They get along well and just the concept of having a family is overwhelming to her.
Twists and turns and things are dire as Liam is taken ill, too ill to work and she paid attention to how he did his job, so she takes over.
Problem is there are threats that she knows nothing of and other helpers discuss some matters with her.
His mother sheds light on the matter. Love hearing how this book takes place in western wilderness state and how Julia has other plans for her future friends still back in Boston...
Such a fun read and informative. Love learning about the candy at Christmas and even looked it up online.
Received this review copy via Hannah Bryon from the authors collaboration with others in free monthly reads and this is my honest opinion.
