The Measure of a Lady Book Review

The Measure of a Lady
By Deeanne Gist

Twenty year-old Rachel van Buren has been unexpectedly thrust into the parental role to her two teenage siblings. And boy do they not like that!

Carrying out rules that a proper young lady should live by in 19th century San Fransisco seems next to impossible. Where gold fevered men and women of ill repute are the sole citizens, Rachel finds her protective task more than she can handle.

Rachel must learn the hard way that she must trust God solely with her own life as well as those of her family and community. Will her ideas of what the measure of a lady should be remain unchanged or will she flee that horrible place the moment any ship leaves the port?

This book took a little longer to get me hooked into the story, but into the first few chapters I wanted to know what would happen next! In the end it left a few of my questions unanswered. So I would definitely read a sequel if Ms. Gist would write one!
