Beth Dodd has made a promise to help “Lulu”, a young prostitute at the Blue Feather, keep her baby if she decides to leave the whorehouse and become a respectable woman. But Beth hadn’t counted on the obstacles she and the new mother will face from society in the mining town of Lundy. From the obstinate landlady, Mrs. Ford, to her intractable German boss, Gus Herschel, Beth must fight for the woman she’s promised to help. But Beth Dodd never gives in, and she keeps her word with a stubbornness that Lundy folks are not accustomed to seeing from a woman.
Once Lulu, now known as the more respectable Louisa Parmley, starts working for Gus in his kitchen, she proves that Beth was right to take a chance on her. She has every intention of making a good life for her new daughter. But can she also hope to find happiness with Gus? And will Gus be able to accept her and baby Sophie Ann as his? Love was never in the cards for Gus, but Louisa dreams of happiness with the stoic man, and Beth is determined to bring them together through HER INDEPENDENT SPIRIT.
Excerpt #3:
“Nein!
Ich nicht condemn!” No! I don’t condemn! “Vork, herrisch Witwe!”
Bossy widow. “No more stories. Make biscuits!”
Beth
motioned Gus aside so she could slide a sheet of biscuits into the oven.
“That’s
mighty fine, Gus, ‘cause I done found us another cook. What with all these here
miners comin’ into Lundy, we’re slap-full busy. Friday I’ll start her learnin’
how things is done. She’ll be right smart help in the kitchen.”
Gus,
his stubborn jaw jutting out, squinted his eyes with suspicion.
“Who?
Vat voman?”
