I really enjoyed this period drama. This is Turano's debut novel set in 1880's New York where social class was everything. Lady Eliza Sumner poses as a governess as she uses her spare time to track down her missing fortune as well as to search for her absent faith. This is a sweet love story as Eliza grows closer to God and closer to her knight in shining armour. A real romantic novel. I liked the way Turano gave Eliza a real relationship with God and showed the struggles that can hinder a free relationship with him and how God can speak to us in times of need, with such clarity, if only we are open to hear. I hope that Turano will write more books, I liked her style, it flowed well with a good blend of characters.

Lady Eliza Sumner has more than her share of problems. Not only has her father died, but his trusted servant and Eliza?s governess have stolen the Sumner fortune and fled together to America, where they?ve assumed the identities of British royalty. Eliza, having more courage than either money or good sense, poses as a governess and follows the nefarious couple across the Atlantic, planning to confront them and reclaim her wealth. Hamilton Beckett erroneously blames himself for his wife?s death and hasn?t remarried for fear of putting another woman in harm?s way. His two young children, who have scared off many a nanny, need a mother, but even this hasn?t sent him courting. He?s sworn off women, and then he meets Eliza. Set in New York City circa 1880, Turano?s historical romance has witty dialogue, a spunky heroine, a bounty of humor, and a fast-paced plot. There are wonderful secondary characters, too, including an ankle-biting boy, a relentlessly matchmaking mother, and a full cast of despicable villains. A Change of Fortune will make a delightful addition to any library.
