Not by Sight

By Kate Breslin

Description:

Gripping Sophomore Novel from a Rising Historical Romance TalentWith Britain caught up in WWI, Jack Benningham, heir to the Earl of Stonebrooke, has declared himself a conscientious objector. Instead, he secretly works for the Crown by tracking down German spies on British soil, his wild reputation and society status serving as a foolproof cover.Blinded by patriotism and concern for her brother on the front lines, wealthy suffragette Grace Mabry will do whatever it takes to assist her country's cause. When she sneaks into a posh London masquerade ball to hand out white feathers of cowardice, she never imagines the chain of events she'll set off when she hands a feather to Jack. And neither of them could anticipate the extent of the danger and betrayal that follows them--or the faith they'll need to maintain hope.

Book Takeaway:

That we should always see with our hearts first, because that's where Love resides; and maintain hope in God, miracles, and the goodness of man, regardless of what the world would have us believe.

Why the author wrote this book:

I love the Masterpiece series, "Downton Abbey" and wanted to explore how women in Britain left their homes and ran the country while men went off to fight during during WWI
