David Carbury is a physician who is one of the early doctors using chloroform, as he is convinced it is safe and effective.
Grace Stratton is happy to received a position as a companion to an older, wealthy woman.
Dr Carbury is forced to flee London after one of his patients dies, though he is convinced it was from cholera, not chloroform. He goes to stay with his wealthy aunt, pretending to be his cousin to keep his secret and have some peace while he faces charges in London. There he meets Grace, who suspects that something is wrong, yet still finds herself drawn to "John."
I loved the fast pace of this book, and the delightful and unexpected plot twist that spring up. But what I most loved about this book, along with most of Edwina Kiernan's books, is the strong gospel message. Readers will find the message of sin, repentance, and redemption through our precious Savior. So often Christian fiction just has hints of faith, or simply doesn't contain impure content, but her truly preaches Christ. It *is* Christian fiction.
