Upon its benefactor's untimely death, the San Francisco Christian Home for Orphans and Foundlings loses all of its funding. What is to become of the dozen children who live happily within its walls? The spinster housemother, Magdalene Fairchild, and the home's founder, Chandler Alexandre, scramble to find a way to keep the children. When all of their plans go awry, only one hope remains?a marriage of convenience between the plain Magdalene and the handsome Chandler. Though the orphanage is saved, will the hasty action of these two people ultimately cause heartache? Magdalene, convinced no man could ever want her, finds little joy in her marriage. Chandler, meanwhile, struggles to show Magdalene what a treasure she is. When they find their love for the children isn't enough, how will God work to bless their union?… (altro)

rabck box from bookstogive 03/11; nice story of an orphanage in the late 1800s San Francisco, who's benefactor dies leaving it in financial peril. The headmaster marries the governess, each believing that it's a marriage of convenience, so the headmaster's trust can be invoked. But they are really in love with each other. ( )

To the Jewish Carpenter, who promises to make something beautiful of my life. Thank You for teaching me that I truly am Your treasure. To Sandy---a cherished friend. Thank you for all the hours we've spent together on our knees. I count your friendship as a precious gift from God, given at a time when I really needed you. And always to my family: Dean, Matt, Kelsy, and Adam. You're each a treasure to me worth far more than gold.
