The Swindler's Daughter by Stephenia H. McGee // Review

Lucie's Review: 

Lillian Doyle is shocked to find that what believed her entire life about her father is a carefully constructed falsehood. Upon her father's death she travels to claim her inheritance, and discovers a side of her family that she never knew, as well as chance to find love on her own terms. 

I liked how Lillian get's a chance to be out on her own, outside of her mother's plans, making new friends. She is smart and has business sense thriving in the new town and newfound freedom. I liked Jonah's mother and her words of faith and friendship towards Lillian. 

A little bit slower to start out, but it grew on me and I liked the gradual character development, strong faith, and dash of mystery along the way. 

Overall, an enjoyable read, well written, in an early 1900's setting. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
