Maggie Lee is hiding. She is a gifted opera singer who has been frightened into hiding in a remote location, unknown to all who know her, in a house at the end of a moor. She lives a quiet life, surrounded only by her hired man, her mute maid and faithful servant Malcolm-a sheep dog that she has adopted. She makes her way, encircled by these three souls whom she has rescued and who have rescued her.
One day Nora, her maid has found a half dead man out on the moor. Together the two women manage to get him back to the house.
The man is an escaped convict named Oliver Ward. He almost died in Dartmoor Prison, under the care of a very sadistic guard and his henchmen. He was wrongfully imprisoned for stealing some jewelry. Maggie brings Oliver back from the brink of death. He is in a sorry condition. Starved and beaten and has taken some punishment during his daring escape from prison.
Oliver knows his stay at the end of the moor is limited, he needs to get farther away, so he can recover and clear his name and rescue a dear friend at the prison who was near death, when he escaped.
Together, Maggie and Oliver join forces to go back to Bath to clear both of their names and set their lives straight.
I wondered if I would like this book, because of the opera angle. I'm most definitely not an opera fan. The book is well written, yes Maggie is a professional opera singer, but she is in hiding, so it's as if she were on a vacation of sorts. This is a work of Christian fiction, very enjoyable.
Many thanks to Shiloh Run Press and Barbour Publishing for the complimentary copy of this book. I was under no obligation to post a review.
