I liked this story, but must admit that book 1 and 2 in this series I liked a little more. This story is about Dr. Ian Russell (who you will have met in the first 2 stories). Ian's life's calling is taking care of London's underclass. Very early in this book you will also meet stage actress Eleanor Neville. Ian's strong faith and his good works makes him stand out from all the other men Eleanor has known. But it is also what keeps them apart. Ian has strong feelings for this lady, but her lifestyle is something he can never accept. Through many different circumstances they will cross paths and both of them will have to overcome some obstacles to find true love and faith. God is able to make all things new, which he will do for Eleanor Neville.

This story takes place in the seedier part of town, but was very well written and shows the way things were in London around 1817. Life was not easy for some (and a little too easy for others). Ruth Axtell Morren's stories are hard to put down and pull you into the story in a way that makes you feel you are there with these people. I am enjoying my visit to London during this series, but must say I am glad I didn't live there during this time. ( )
