I am reviewing a copy of Shadows of the White City through Bethany House Publishers and Netgalley:




Sylvie Townsend wants a family more than anything but she fears she is destined never to have a family of her own.  But when Sylvia takes in Polish Immigrant Polish immigrant Rose Dabrowski to raise and love quells those fears, that is until seventeen year old Rose goes missing at the World's Fair, and Sylvie's world unravels.





After being brushed off by authorities, Sylvie turns to her boarder Kristof Bartok, for help.  He is Rose's violin instructor and the concertmaster for the Columbian Exposition Orchestra, and his language skills are vital to helping Sylvie navigate the immigrant communities where their search leads. 






This book will take you from the glittering architecture of the World’s Fair to the dark houses of Chicago's poorest neighborhoods,  they are lead on a journey that points to Rose’s long lost family.  But I’d Sylvie willing to let the girl go?  And as she and Kristoff grow closer, can she reconcile her craving for control with her yearning to belong?





If you are looking for a Historical Christian Ring, that will take you back to late Nineteenth Century Chicago, I would highly recommend Shadows of the White Century.



I give Shadows of the White City five out of five stars!



Happy Reading!
