BOOK DESCRIPTION

They Waited Their Whole Lives for Their Papa to Return

Nan and Heath Duncan, siblings abandoned by their papa and abused by their guardian, have no choice but to survive on the London streets. When a kind gentleman rescues Nan from such a life, the siblings are separated and raised in two vastly different social worlds. Just when both are beginning to flourish and years have healed some of their wounds, their long-awaited papa returns and reunites them--bringing demands with him. Nan is expected to marry a rich suitor she's never liked, and Heath is expected to forsake his gentle spirit and become the hardened man his father always was.

Dangers unfold, secret love develops, fights ensue, and murder upsets the worlds Heath and Nan have built for themselves. They've waited their whole lives for their papa to return, for tomorrow to come--but now that it has, will they be able to see through to the truth and end this whirlwind of a nightmare before it costs one of their lives?

REVIEW

This story is heartbreaking and hopeful all at the same time. This follows the story of two siblings who were all but abandoned and living on the street. They were waiting for their father to come home, and Nan would ask Heath when Papa was coming, the answer was always tomorrow.

Nan and Heath are separated when an accident befalls Nan and she is taken in by a wealthy family. Heath lets her go so that she might have food and a life worth having. Heath returns to a Vicar that was kind to him.

This story shows so much about hardship, desperation, and love. There are different kinds of love and relationships shown in this story. There is sacrifice. I was taken on an emotional journey through their world. There were heavy pages and light moments for these characters. It was not the traditional story I was expecting, it was so much more.

I received an early copy from the publisher through NetGalley and this is my honest review.
