17. After seeing how Missy LeBeau acted around Daniel, Charlotte asked herself, “Why was the professor so open and trusting to others, ignoring their less than honest motives?” What do you think? How do you balance trusting others too much and too little?
18. Why is Charlotte reluctant to accept Daniel’s proposal? What obstacles were they facing as a couple?
19. Ruthie makes a poignant statement when she says “praying is important, but sometimes the Lord is slow in answering.” How did several characters in this novel have to wait on the Lord? Do you ever feel He is slow in answering?
20. Charlotte says she often adjusts her ethics according to what situation she is in. Are you more moral in some situations than in others? Do some of your high standards not apply in certain areas of your life?
“A charming peek inside life during the Gilded era.
Highly recommended.”
