When Tomorrow Came by Hannah Linder

 My thoughts:  The story begins with the destitute plight of two young children who have been left at a tavern with a woman of dubious character to care for them while their father returns to the sea. They are left for years and are currently living on the streets of London. Then little Nan is stuck by a carriage and injured. She is cared for by the well-to-do man who was in the carriage, and ultimately ends up in his home being raised along with his own children.

Little Nan's older brother knows what has happened to her and that the gentleman has taken her into his care since she was alone and in need of care.

Time elapses and Nan is grown and life is good. Her brother lives with the rector and helps in the church. Life is good.

Nan is pursued romantically by a young gentleman on a neighboring estate who is wealthy and titled. But numerous bad things begin happening to this gentleman's home and family and these troubles drift into the lives of Nan and her adoptive family.

The author has a delightful way with words and beautiful descriptive writing. I totally enjoyed reading this book.
