recommended to Margaret by:
Amy Kittelrecommends it for: someone wanting romance with some suspense as well as woman's rights thrown in
Mia Stanley is a lady of high regard living in late nineteenth century Pennsylvania fighting for the rights of women and children beyond what her social status believes is appropriate. Tracie Peterson has done it again in my opinion. I must admit that I was not crazy for this book and it's characters as I have been for some of Tracie's stories, but I did enjoy it and will recommend it and perhaps read it again. Mia has a very Emma-like quality about her. She wants to put everyone into a matchmad...more

While this was hard for me to put down, there were a few things I could have done without, such as the colliding into the handsome man's arms in the middle of the night. The main character of the book is a woman who loves to matchmake and help the poor and needy. She enters the world of the poor secretly, fearing her parents would not approve, yet thinking it something God wants her to do.

I get that it's historical/period piece, but the dialog was just so... unnatural and overly formal (like awkward, not necessarily the proper-formal required for a historical piece) - and I found myself getting frustrated with the characters. ugh. Yet I had to finish it. Some of it felt like God was randomly thrown in there, or the faith questions & prayers not really genuine -- though there was one particular scene that was well done, faith-wise, I felt. But just one.

It captivated me immediately. There is a little intrigue and romance. It takes place in the mid 1800's and is about Mia Stanley, a young lady of class who tries to help the poor. She has courage and although she does not always act wisely, she does stick to her beliefs.

I just read this book and could barely put it down. I looked forward to picking it up every time I went to bed at night. Tracie is an amazing author...the only bad thing about this book is I really didn't care for the end to well, but still a must read!

This is the first one in Tracie Peterson's new series
called Ladies of Liberty. It is historical fiction
that takes place in Philadelphia in 1852. This story
is about a "lady" who risks her life to help those
who are abused and downtrodden.

This was a good book that held my attention. It was easy to get into and read. The plot reminded me a lot of Jane Austens book Emma. I wouldn't mind reading more from this author.

I like this author. This book ended a little abrupt and sappy for me, but was still a fun and quick read.

As always, very well written. Not as "on the edge" as some of her other writings, but still very good.
