Unending Devotion by Jody Hedlund~~A Litfuse Publicity Group Book Review

My Review:

Another must read from author Jody Hedlund

Lily Young, an orphan, is a loving and determined young lady who is relentlessly searching for her sister, Daisy, as she travels from logging town to logging town as a photography assistant.

We meet Lily as she is in the process of rescuing a girl from a life of harlotry. Each girl she saves she takes to Molly Mae who helps the girls to leave their former life behind and to begin a new life.

Connell McCormick is the oldest son of Irish Immigrants, and a supervisor of three of his father’s logging operations. He leads a moral lifestyle himself, but is content to turn a blind eye to the plight of the girls in the “hotels”. His thinking is that the shanty boys employed by his father are more productive because of their after hours activities.

Two different backgrounds,and two different points of views add up to just the right amount of conflict to propel the story forward.  Add a touch of suspense and you have a story that keeps the reader turning pages well into the night.

I highly recommend this book, but if you have a teen that is interested in reading Unending Devotion, please read it yourself first, because there are some violent scenes and themes centered around harlotry that you may not want your teen to be exposed to yet.

About the Book:
Michigan, 1883

In Her Darkest Hours, Is He the Man She Needs?

Lily Young longs to find her lost sister or will die trying. Heedless of any danger, she searches logging camps and towns, posing as a photographer’s assistant. And then she arrives in Harrison, Michigan–and the sights of Connell McCormick.

Connell is determined to increase the fortune of his lumber-baron father and figures as long as he’s living an upright life, that’s what matters. But when Lily arrives in town she upends his world, forcing him to confront the truth that dangerous men have gained too much power while good men turn a blind eye.

Vexing but persuasive, Lily soon secures Connell’s help, drawing them ever closer to each other. Will standing for what’s right cost them both everything?
