    Rosalind and her family come from a small town in Wisconsin. Rosalind's sister, Miranda, has taken a job as a maid in the big city of Chicago. It has been quite some time since anyone in the family has heard from Miranda, and so Rosalind leaves the quiet family home for the unknown life in the city. Rosalind needs to find Miranda and hopefully, bring her back home safe.

    The last known place that Miranda worked was for the Sloanes. The Sloanes are a very influential family in Chicago. In the hopes of finding Miranda, Rosalind decides to become a maid for the Sloane Family as well. With hope and a "new" last name Rosalind is hired and starts to get to know the family and the staff of the home.

    The Sloane Family is a self-centered group of people and their main concern is for their own well-being. Rosalind gets no help from them, but she has befriended Reid Armstrong. He is very handsome and rich, and a close friend to Douglass Sloane.

    This book is about faith and the true meaning of family. Rosalind is by far my favorite character of this book. She is scared, but love for her sister triumphs over her own fear in the hope that her sister is safe. Rosalind battles fear, the unknown, the wrong people, and potentially the loss of family. In the end this story is about forgiveness, love, and faith. It is also about new beginnings and overcoming your fears.

    I think that this story is beautifully written. Everything about this book, including such a beautiful cover, is something we have all faced in one way or another. I love how Rosalind is willing to "do it afraid." The love she has for her sister overcomes the fear of the unknown. We have to tackle life that way. Just like with Rosalind, it only made her stronger.

    Rosalind is not just a new maid at Sloane House, she is also there undercover. She and her family desperately wanted to know what has happened to her missing Sister who used to work there. Rosalind knows she must do whatever she can to solve the mystery. But she may find herself in more danger then she planned. Especially if the carefully kept secrets of Sloane House come to light.

    Reid Armstrong knows he should marry well to secure his family's place in society. But when he learns that Rosalind's life may be in danger he knows he must help. But as things unfold even he may be to late.

    I enjoyed this book from the beginning, and it did not disappoint! The characters were well done and I could defiantly see the different personalities. The story takes place in Chicago during the 1893 World's Fair, and it was interesting to see what the city was like at that time. Although it was a very dangerous time and many things were happening around the city. But this story had a lot of mystery in it and was a great book. I definitely recommend this book and I look forward to the next book coming out!

    I received this book free from the publisher, Zondervan, through the BookLook Bloggers book review program. The opinions are my own.

    From page one, Secrets of Sloane House had me hooked. I didn't want to put this book down. The story about Rosalind, Miranda, the Sloanes, Reid, and the others pulls you in right away, and you feel like you are at the Chicago World's Fair and the Sloane House living out Shelley Gray's words. Shelley's details were so vivid that I could picture the fancy dresses the ladies were wearing and Sloane House. Suspense, history, love, hate, and faith - this book has it all. Wonderfully written story! I cannot wait for the next book. Spring 2015 better get here fast.

    In a story of gripping suspense and intrigue, Shelly Gray in her inimitebel style introduces us to both residents and visitors to Chicago. It's 1893 and people are flocking to the World's Fair.

    The Sloane's are an affluent family

    residing in a large home filled with

    servants and secrets.

    Ms. Gray draws you into this vivid novel as only she can.

    This is one of her finest novels and I cannot wait for the next one in this series. As usual,Shelly Gray has hit it out of the park!

    Shelley Gray just wrote the most wonderful historical novel full of suspense and intrigue, that will have your emotions sitting on the edge of your seat to the very end. Secrets of Sloan House does not disappoint. I was pulled in from the very first chapter. Set in the year 1893 and centered around the World Fair in Chicago.

    Rosalind is on a mission to find her missing sister Miranda and with the help of Reid Armstrong she ends up on quite the adventure. I think having a great faith in God helped Rosalind and Reid with their struggle in society when a person's social status, name and reputation meant everything to some during 1893. I also think it made Rosalind stronger. I have to mention that I was really shocked by what happened at the end. Actually I think the main character Rosalind Perry was even shocked.

    I really enjoyed this book, and cannot wait for the next in the series, Deception At Sable Hill.
