Shy, sweet Cecilia Hatherleigh has always been in love with Edward Amherst, the boy next door. Yet he’s never seen her as anything but the quiet girl in the background as he flirts with the other vivacious women of the ton.

When a near tragedy brings Edward’s attention to his family duties, this prodigal son decides he needs to settle down with a proper wife. Cecilia hopes to convince him to choose her—but God may want her to forget the wayward nobleman and put her future in His hands alone.

These two try to find their way toward happiness, but prejudice, political riots, and the changing face of England’s societal structures begin to block them at every turn. Can their struggles turn to triumph—or will their paths permanently diverge?

IN MY OPINION

This may be my favorite book written by Carolyn Miller yet (but that’s pretty much the case with each new release). There was just something that resonated with me in this story.

Quiet, unassuming peacemaker Cecilia Hatherleigh has loved the man next door for as long as she can remember. But Edward (Ned) Amherst only views her as a sister. After some poor decisions, Ned is now finding his purpose, one in which Cecila’s kind and soft heart thoroughly stands behind and backs in any way she can.

Underestimating Miss Cecilia is a story of second chances. It’s also a vivid reminder that sometimes when we ask God for the deepest desires of her heart, His answer is difficult: Wait. But in that period of waiting, comes growth and a deeper relationship with Him.

I’m now looking forward to what Miller has planned for the adventurous and outspoken Verity and discovering what kind of man is her match.
