Josie Warren works as a maid for the Davenports, the richest family in Newport, Rhode Island. She doesn't have marriage prospects but desires a man with Christian values. Arthur Davenport arrives home after living for several years in Europe. He meets Josie and begins a friendship with her despite the situation she works for him. The friendship develops into love as their position in society comes between them. I thought the book was well written. I enjoy the plot of two different classes coming together for love. The book was full of Josie and Arthur thinking about each other. It didn't have any suspense. As a reader, I wanted them to do something. Eventually, they worked toward building a homeless shelter, but it took a long time to establish a goal. I like secondary stories so I enjoyed the potential romance between Josie's mother and the doctor.
