Finding Lady Enderly, Joanna Davidson Politano. (Book Review)



About the book:

  Raina Bretton is a rag woman in London's east end when a handsome stranger appears in a dank alley and offers her a glittering smile and a chance for adventure. Rothburne Abbey has a unique position for her, one that will take her away from her hardscrabble life and give her a chance to be a lady. Things she could only dream of might be coming true. But some dreams turn out to be nightmares.

Though Raina has traded squalor for silk and satin, something about the abbey is deeply unsettling. As she wrestles with her true identity, the ruin, decay, and secrets she finds at the heart of the old mansion tear at her confidence and threaten to reveal her for who she really is. Only one man stands between her and the danger that lurks within--and only if he decides to keep her biggest secret hidden.


My thoughts: 5/5 stars

 Finding Lady Enderly was a tale of secrecy and lies, laced with a fear of becoming someone you are not, and forgetting who you are.

  I was deeply intrigued by this story told in first person by Raina, a mere rag woman rescued off the streets to play the part of a refined Lady.

But there is more to the tale she was told; now she's forced to stay and discover what happened to the true Lady Enderly.

What Raina discovers is not what she expected at all. She's unsure of how to get out of the mess she's fallen into, but she must soon, or all of the woman she used to be will be gone forever. Crumbled into a pile of lies.

   This book kept me awake well into the night.
My heart raced and I called out in literal agony over what should become of Raina and her true love.

 This is a tale of twists and turns and gut wrenching, wretched beautifulness.

 The emotions that swirled through me will stay with me for time to come.

 I shall never forget the beauty of the real lady whom was hidden under the rags of poverty.

 This tale speaks of loss and love in an unexplainable kind of way, so beautiful were the words Politano wrote that now remain in my heart.

 I cannot tell you what an adventure my heart and soul went on through this beautiful story where love always wins.

This book utterly destroyed me at every turn and then made me completely whole. 

It enraged me at its worse, and completely melted my heart at its best.

I recommend this book which tells a tale of true love and reminds each reader of their true identity in Christ.

Honestly it was such a gorgeous story of faith and renewal where our sins hold us back.

100% clean and I recommend to everyone.

Finding Lady Enderly  is on sale now!
