Sophia Fairfield's story, set in 1899, is easily applied to today's society. Even though fear of making a misstep according to society's protocols for young women is not so much a thing anymore; for many though, fear of what others say bout them on social media is a big deal. Fear can be controlling, even paralyzing. Seeing Sophia take control of her own future and build confidence is encouraging, but it is her becoming aware of the role fear had played in her life and her growing reliance on the wisdom of Second Timothy, chapter one, verse seven that makes the deepest impression. It is this theme of not living in the spirit of fear that can be generalized to so many situations we encounter in today's culture.
I recommend The Finding of Miss Fairfield, book one in the Aprons and Veils series, and am grateful to have received a complimentary copy from Valmont House Publishers via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
