This was written well and easy to follow the paths of the many characters in this book. The character Charlotte was more of a focal point in the 2nd book then I was expecting but it turned out to make the story interesting. Not only am I looking forward to reading about Olivias new aspirations,I also want to find out what Charlotte does and if she continues to stay on the good path she has chose. Wondrful book to lose yourself in. (

This suspenseful sequel to In The Company Of Secrets continues the lives of Olivia the wanna-be chef and Charlotte the spolied English lady. The threat of unionization and instability at the Pullman villiage become obvious. Fred tries to take on the Pullman Company. Charlotte's heart softens, changes and grows into something to be proud of. There is still misunderstanding regarding the relationship of Fred and Charlotte as the lawyer's daughter Ellen Ashton enters the picture. Worst of all Mr. Howard's character takes on villianous overtones.

This book is a swift moving surprise with final answers to come in book three. Even more enjoyable than book one with God softly cheering in the background. Nothing to be sorry about here. (

Not great literature, but very interesting from the historical sense. (

NCLA Review -This is the second in a series, continuing Olivia’s life as a chef’s assistant and her new job for Pullman, riding the rails to detect cost-saving methods and betterment of services for customers. Later, this turns out to be a misrepresentation. She was really a spotter for the company and employees were dismissed because of her reporting. Olivia is horrified to learn this. Lady Charlotte has a baby out of wedlock and runs away to Chicago, leaving the baby with Olivia. In time, Charlotte is transformed from a selfish young girl to a caring, working young woman who reads the Bible and attends Bible studies. There are many secrets in Pullman that will be coming out in the next book of the series. Rating: 4 —VJ (
