Mia definitely has her Too Stupid To Live moments, and I found her hard to like. But Mia is not ready to settle down, herself - or is she?Fans of the historical inspirational romance genre will probably enjoy this book, but I don't see it reaching a wider audience. More than once, she is rescued by her handsome neighbor - a man she's often tried to match up with one of her friends, as she feels he would make some woman an excellent husband. Writing for Godey's Lady's Book has opened Mia's eyes to issues of social justice - but when she uncovers corrupt dealings among landlords by the docks, she finds herself in danger. Mia Stanley, a young woman from one of Philadelphia's elite families, has had everything in life handed to her on a silver platter - but that does not mean that she is not deeply concerned for the welfare of the poor in her city. It's great, not necessarily amazing, hence the four stars, but it's great. I have yet to come across a book by Tracie Peterson, except one, that I have not loved and this is no exception.
There are matters that affect your own life that you can gain from experiencing the lives of these characters. There is a devotion and lesson to be learned. She wants to put everyone into a matchmade pair, but when she realizes who she wants to be her other half, it is a little too late as she pushed him away into a pair of his own.Through this story you get entertainment and romance. Mia has a very Emma-like quality about her. I must admit that I was not crazy for this book and it's characters as I have been for some of Tracie's stories, but I did enjoy it and will recommend it and perhaps read it again. Tracie Peterson has done it again in my opinion. Mia Stanley is a lady of high regard living in late nineteenth century Pennsylvania fighting for the rights of women and children beyond what her social status believes is appropriate.
