    About this series

    The emotional next book in the Victorian saga series from Fenella J Miller

    Dangerous times, new fortunes

    London October 1843.

    Sarah Nightingale is a strong young woman who keeps her head high and faces every new adversity with courage. So when Daniel Cooper, a happily married man with three children, offers her a position taking care of his children and poorly wife, she jumps at the chance. Perhaps life is finally looking up for Sarah?

    Meanwhile, Sarah’s brother Alfie is also prospering in London after escaping his life of servitude. But when a personal tragedy strikes, Alfie decides to leave London and go home to look for his sister.

    But with her fortunes changing, will Sarah welcome her runaway brother?

    Please note: This book was originally published as Count Your Blessings.
