Brianna Kelly was abandoned at Ballymacool House and Boarding School as an infant. She has worked there since she was a wee girl and will likely die there. Despite a sense that she was made for something more, Brianna feels powerless to change her situation, so she consoles herself by exploring the Ballymacool grounds, looking for hidden treasures to add to the secret trove beneath the floorboards of her room.
When Michael Wray, the son of local gentry, is sent to Ballymacool to deal with his unruly cousin, he finds himself drawn to Brianna, immediately and inescapably. There is something about her that feels so . . . familiar. When Brianna finds a piece of silver in the woods, she commits to learning its origins, with the help of Michael. What they discover may change everything.
Fan favorite Jennifer Deibel invites you back to the Emerald Isle in the 1930s for this fresh take on the Cinderella story, complete with a tantalizing mystery, a budding romance, and a chance at redemption.

I really enjoyed this book. Well written with good characters and a very interesting plot, it kept my attention through out.
Brianna works so hard at Ballymacool House, rarely getting time off and hated by the headmistress. She can’t understand why the woman is so antagonistic toward her. I couldn’t wait to find out what all the mystery was about. I was not disappointed at all. Very nice indeed.
My thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book. The opinion here is my own.
