At the end of Victorian seranade #1, Corrine had accepted Christ and become determined to seek out her long-abandoned husband and daughter to beg forgiveness and make amends. In this second book of the series, however, she is intercepted by Mr. Price, a detective who represents someone in her old life who now wants vengeance for the wrongs that she did. An unbeliever, he refuses to see that Corrine in reborn into a different person and continues with his plan to abduct her and deliver her to the man that she had wronged in the past. As they journey together, it becomes clear to her that Mr. Price is a very sick man, perhaps even at death's door. Although his illness gives her chance to escape, her new Christian faith will not allow her to leave him to die alone, and she cares for him for weeks on end. In the meantime, Corrine's daughter Jenny is taken out of her impoverished home and sent to the home of a wealthy landowner. However, this move soon proves to not be good for Jenny, as she realizes that the mistress of the house borders on insanity. Will Corrine be able to break away from Mr. Price? Will Jenny still be in her original home when Corrine arrives there? More importantly, is Jenny's life in danger with her "new Mother?" This a very good continuation of this series, and I highly recommend it.

I really, really love this book. Lawana Blackwell did another inspiring job on her VICTORIAN SERANADE series. Corrine is great character struggling with her spiritual growth when she sets out to reunite with her husband and daughter. Joseph is an interesting,unique character who must track down Corrine and bring her to justice for all the crimes she has committed against people. Jenny is Corrine's daughter who finds herself the pawn in a insane woman's plot to make Jenny her daughter to replace the daughter that was killed by drowning. Corrine finds herself abducted and then later have her abductor at her mercy when he gets deathly ill. Lawana Blackwell did a great job on the character of a woman's faith put to the test. Only the grace of God could bring her and her family back together.

Corrine sets out to find her husband and daughter that she abandoned 8 years before. But there is a bitter man that wants to her to pay for her past crimes. This book is great because it demostrates how God could forgive anyone if they repent of their sin. You'll love this book!

Lawanna Blackwell is a great fiction writer. This book is the second in a series. Her books are written during the Victorian era, yet the reader is able to identify with the characters. I have passed these books on to women in their 30's through 80's and each generation has equally enjoyed them. I would recommend any book that Lawanna Blackwell has written.

I really enjoyed this book. The story really kept my interest. I enjoy Christian fiction. Lawana Blackwell is one of the best Christian fiction writers out there.
