Being realistic, Lillian works hard at the dress store to make ends meet. It is there that she meets Earnest Spaulding, a wealthy bachelor, who takes to her. Only he is not all he seems. He treats her so badly until Lillian decides she cannot take any more.
She flees to the West to become a bride to David Laird, a kind man who is everything that Lillian had ever hoped for. Her deep secretive past remains hidden from her husband, but it cannot remain concealed for long.
The deeply religious and honest David cannot accept deceit.

Very Interesting! I enjoyed reading your book, at first I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue reading the book but it was really interesting the further I got into the book.I wanted to strangle Earnest many times. I was Abused by my first husband for years before I walked away never looking back. A friend I had known for years saved me from being possible killed.

Fair
In keeping this down to a one hour book,it lacked story telling that it needed. The jump from chapter 1 to 2 is hard to follow. Additional information would have made it more enjoyAble for the reader.

William’s Secret
Emma Ashwood has written a compassionate story with moments of sadness and dear but with good times of love and goodness. Lillian struggled to get away from a tragic situation with her fiance and her mother. But she did get away and after some terror with her past, she overcomes it all and creates a loving family life, including bringing her sister Marion to live with her. Sweet story.
