This was such a sweet and clean story. Beth and David are great together. I hope to read more by this author.
The Earl's Charitable Lady
by Elizabeth Downton
The British Isles are wracked by war, famine and suffering. Humanity, charity and empathy towards fellow man were scarce, especially in the icy squares and frozen alleys of London.
Beth Seymour was an anomaly of the times and that is why she removed the naked newborn boy from his deathly cold mother's chest and gave him a new life in her father's house. She sets out to prove that she can have all that London's high society holds precious while still being a charitable and benevolent participant in lesser society.
Lord Acton, the eldest son of the Duke of Salisbury, is a war hero. His parents are delighted that he has proved himself on the field, now they feel he has to prove himself at home, by finding a wife.
The lady that takes his fancy, non-other than Beth Seymour, yet she proves evasive as he pursues her. Lord Acton, can’t understand her, she gets close and then takes a step back. Will the secret she is hiding ever be revealed? If it does, can his Lordship ever accept it?

A lovely story to read
What an inspiring story. I love the way the family stood by Bath in her decision to keep the poor orphan and raised him as their own. There is great unconditional love in this story. Excellent read!
