Title: Will hook you and keep you reading.
Review: A poor orphanage in China is the only home Lucy Waring has ever known. There she battles daily to keep herself and the other children alive. She is caught stealing for food one day and put in jail. There she meets a doomed Englishman who will help her to escape, under one condition: she must marry him. Her life takes a dramatic turn after those vows are taken. She is returned home to England to live with a wealthy English family, where she is at a lose to their strange ways. But there is a secret working all around her and she is eventually caught up in the adventure. I really enjoyed this book. The descriptions are vivid and the storytelling is compelling. By the end of the book you really feel you know these people. I would recommend this one. Most libraries carry Ms. Brent's books if you can't find them elsewhere. I have read all but one of her books and found them to be equally enjoyable reads.
