In 1903, Amaranth Beach is burdened by her ethnicity due to the Chinese Exclusion Acts. Abandoned on a beach as a newborn and raised in an orphanage, she is a skilled secretary, but the threat of deportation looms constantly and all employers turn her away… until Mrs. Tildon of Sea Haven, New Jersey, hires her.
Soon after Amaranth’s arrival, she discovers that the Tildon family secrets run deep—a reprobate father, a long-lost brother, an obnoxious maid who is never fired for her behavior, and William the son who worries too much about what people will think.
When a series of alarming events occur, it’s up to Amaranth and William to unravel the secrets that threaten to destroy the Tildon family. Can Amaranth heal the family’s divisions with her faith? Or will a greater danger threaten them all.
This is a beautiful historical romance with themes of acceptance and forgiveness. I loved the cast of interesting characters and the gently unfolding romance between Amaranth and William. The hints of mystery woven through the story kept the pages turning! One scene near the end in which Amaranth receives a "gift of love" from the ocean was so touching it brought tears. I love this author's writing style and look forward to reading more of her wonderful books.
In Love’s Gift, Marzec crafts a compelling narrative that marries history and faith. Amaranth and William’s love story highlights the power of forgiveness and the importance of equality.
