Swans Book Review

Meet the Girls of Mischief Bay.  This book centers around the lives of three women, who happen to be friends and the problems that are facing them in this part of their lives. This book was boring until it wasn't.  Let me tell you what I mean. Nicole Lord wants to be a good wife, but there's a difference between being supportive and supporting her husband, who quit his job to write a screenplay she's never seen. He won't even help take care of their son, leaving Nicole to run the house and work full-time at her Mischief Bay Pilates studio. Can she say enough is enough without losing the man she loves?

Her estranged brother coming back into the picture certainly helped and now it's Tammy's turn to do the rest. With independence comes uncertainty and Tammy has a lot of that but she presses on. Everything was going fine until a place she can call home wa...

What drives a gentle born lady to spend all her time taking care of the children of less fortunate families instead of grooming herself to find a husband as is the norm in those days? You would have to ask Lady Penelope Ashford. Lady Penelope Ashford along with her sisters had opened a home for underprivileged children so they can grow up and earn a trade for themselves.  For years the Foundling House ( as they named it ) has thrived  but of late their charges has been disappearing. It usually works like this, when someone from the West End of London is about to die, they send word to the Foundling house about their predicament and make plans for the Foundling house to take in their children/ward when they are gone. When the parent or guardian dies, neighbors send word that their client had died and they go and collect the child, except recently someone has beaten them to it. Feeling at a lost at what she must do, Penelope seeks the aid of Barna...
