It is 1917 in New York during World War I when a prominent woman, Rosemary Fell, walks down the street and sees a woman under a lamp post, shivering against the elements. The woman is obviously penniless and Rosemary, on a whim, decides to invite the young woman home for a cup of tea. Rosemary clothes the girl and gives her something to eat. While at Rosemary's house, her fiance Phillip comes in to visit her and he looks a little too longingly at the homeless young woman. The woman returns this gaze. Sensing something is going on, Rosemary quickly pushes the woman out of her life as fast as she came in, but little does Rosemary realize, the damage is already done. Soon Rosemary's high society world is crumbling at her fingertips all because she took a chance to try and help a woman.
This book is a very short book, so as to not give too much away, the review will mirror this. This book has a very interesting concept. Not many books have a plot with the main character giving a helping hand and it ends up hurting their lives forever. This book has many twists and turns which keeps readers hooked. Each chapter is only a few pages long so this read will not take many of you very long. Take a chance on this short story and enjoy!
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
