This historical fiction was a interesting tale. I thoroughly enjoyed The Undercover Heiress of Brockton by Kelly J. Goshorn. It weaves historical information with a lovely romantic story and enjoyable read. There were a few times when I questioned the plot, but then realized in historical context it makes sense.
