Sara lives off the streets of NYC in the 1890s. Her mother died a year earlier and she lives in the basement of someone who is like a second mother to her, but she is unaware that she is staying there. Sara is content and lives day to day the best she can.

Tom lives in New Hampshire and makes a good living selling his paintings of things around Bethlehem, where he's lived his whole life. He is getting older and is being pressured to find a wife. He decides to write up an advertisement.


Sara's second mother sees the ad and responds on Sara's behalf to give Sara a better way of life. That's when things start going wrong for both Tom and Sara. Things keep screwing up and they hope that the Lord's will tells them of what they each should do.

It was a good story. It had some drama here and there and it was sweet but I didn't like how the ending went in the last few pages. It could have been a bit better, but it was still nice. 3.25 stars
