Book: The Dressmaker’s Secret
Author: Kellyn Roth
Genre: Christian historical women’s fiction
Claire will stop at nothing to provide for her daughters. An unwed mother, she does everything possible to raise them whilst avoiding her scandalous past. Some secrets are best kept, even between mother and daughter. Alice longs for a father, especially if that means her mother will be happy. She takes matters into her own hands—but she never expected what she finds.
Despite her efforts to shelter her daughters, Claire’s ghosts rise up to haunt her, and any semblance of control over her life vanishes. If her secrets are uncovered, what will become of her family?

About the Author
Kellyn Roth is a Christian historical women’s fiction & romance author from North-Eastern Oregon who has independently published multiple novels, the most notable being The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy series. You should definitely call her Kell.
Kell lives on family-owned property outside an unmemorable but historical town with her parents, two little brothers, arbitrary cat, precious border collies, a dozen cows, and lots of chickens. She also possesses a classic, vintage aesthetic which does not at all speak to her country girl side, but such is life.
When not writing, Kell likes to blog, teach writing to her various students, have day jobs which allow her to keep her car properly insured, and spend lavish amounts of money on Dairy Queen french fries.

My Review
We begin a journey to unlock secrets, do we have the right to know, a lot of people felt they did, or they guessed and held it against Claire. Times were different 1860’s England, and a woman catering to the elite, by making their dresses, and she is good at it, but then rumors fly about her having illegitimate children, what can she do? God has a way of working things out, and we are there to see how things turn out.
There are big surprises, some I didn’t see coming, and some are really heart warming. We are there for some sad happenings, and blessings.
Forgiveness, that is a big theme here, and there needs to be a lot of it, do children deserve answers? If you don’t tell. will someone else? As you turn the pages here you will get answers to these questions, and yes there are surprises!
I received this book through Celebrate Lit, and was not required to give a positive review.
Sounds like a great read.
