Hilltop House, published by Dorrance Publishing, is an amazing book, I could not put it down. The main character, Kate Bonner, is a wonderfully developed character; a true woman of substance. The surprise for me was Kate's mom, Adelle, a madame by necessity. The amazing thing? By the end of the book I adored her, too, much to my surprise. The romance (yes, there's romance!) was believable and moving. I found that there were some nice twists and turns that I could not have predicted, which is a rarity for me, and I really enjoyed it. This is definitely not one of those read one, read them all books!
One of the neat things about this book is the history interspersed throughout, which was refreshing and made the whole story line seem realistic. Kate Bonner is the kind of woman anyone would admire, from personal aspirations to community pillar. She has an amazing degree of compassion, even for those who might not be worthy of that compassion at times. She is a wonderful businesswoman who was successful in a time when success and women were not necessarily compatible terms. She has an excellent support network in her mom and many friends, but her mom's loyalty and unyielding commitment for Kate's happiness and success is unconditional and limitless.
