I am reviewing a copy of A Silken Thread through WaterBrook and Multonomah and Netgalley:

Laurel Millard was eighteen and the youngest of seven children, being the youngest of seven she was expected to stay home and take care of. Mamma by her older siblings, but Laurel has dreams of her own, she wants to start her own family. She may get this opportunity by operating a silk loom at the Atlanta Exposition which may give her a chance to win the heart of a man who is wealthy enough to take care of her, and any children she may bare as well as her Mother.

Langdon Rochester’s Parents have given him an ultimatum either he settles down and gets married or he looses his family inheritance. He meets Laurel at the exposition, Langdon meets Laurel. Marrying her would keep his parents happy and she would look good on his arms at social events. Langdon decided that he will do his best to woo Laurel. Willie Sharp is not wealthy and he must take on an extra job at the Exposition as a security guard. When trouble makers cause trouble in the Women’s Building, Willie is put in charge of keeping the building safe. He enjoys visiting with Laurel, who seems like a little sister he never had, but his feelings for Laurel change into something deeper. Can Willie convince Laurel that he can give her better life — even with so little to offer?

I found A Silken Thread to be an engaging book, from the first page to the last. I give it five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
