businessman Darius Reed. Although his attention makes her heart
soar, he can never learn of her past.

Darius meets Olivia, he's immediately drawn to her beauty and
compassion.
Can love prove stronger than prejudice and past mistakes? Or will
Olivia's secrets destroy any chance at a future together?

"A well-written, informative, and eye-opening read. Highly
recommended."--Historical Novel Review on The Brightest
of Dreams
Upon her release from a woman's reformatory in 1941 Toronto, Olivia
Rosetti wants nothing more than to forget the horrors of her time
there and return to normal. But with her family unwilling to
forgive and employers wary of hiring her, she quickly ends up
desperate and homeless--until a chance encounter with well-to-do
widow Ruth Bennington. The two discover they share a painful
history and together decide to open a maternity home for troubled
women.
Greek widower Darius Reed is determined to protect his daughter
from the prejudice that killed her mother and hopes to marry into a
prominent Toronto family. But when his employer orders him to
persuade Ruth Bennington to sell them her property, Darius soon
becomes conflicted over his feelings about the home and his
attraction to Olivia.
Despite finding fulfilment in her work, Olivia must fight not only
bitter memories and the community's negative reaction to their
mission, but also feelings for the man who is trying to close her
home. Can love prove stronger than prejudice and societal
pressures, or will past mistakes destroy her chance at true
happiness?
