The Love Note

I found The Love Note by Joanna Davidson Politano to be a fascinating book.  Willa Duvall wants a career in medicine, but her father wants her married off.  While sitting at a secretary desk in her home, she finds a love note hidden in a crevice. Willa remembers where the secretary came from and decides to make a bargain with her father to be a long term nurse and if she's successful, she will be able to pursue medicine.  She goes to Crestwicke Manor to nurse the dowager there.  One of the maids finds the note and believes it was written to her.  How this note found its way around the Manor into various hands, each reader believing that the note was written to her.  But the note was written to the dowager of the estate, and with caring and patience, Willa hears the story behind the note and all the history that went along with it.  

Like I said, this is a fascinating read that keeps the reader engaged from beginning to end.  It is definitely a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a most definite love requited.
