If there was one thing Constance Wltherill couldn t accept,it was pity.

So when her family fortune was lost she slipped away from town deter-

mined to start a new life rather than ffsk the sympathy of her wealthy

socialite lnends and adtriirers. Working jbr a living in a small town

where she was a stranger brought unexpected rewards not the least of

them the earnest young minister who made her part of his flock. Until a

man from her past tracked her down. and she was/orced to choose

between the new life she has built and the old luxuries she has always

taken as her due.
