About the Book
Raina Bretton is a rag woman in London's east end when a handsome stranger appears in a dank alley and offers her a glittering smile and a chance for adventure. Rothburne Abbey has a unique position for her, one that will take her away from her hardscrabble life and give her a chance to be a lady. Things she could only dream of might be coming true. But some dreams turn out to be nightmares.
Though Raina has traded squalor for silk and satin, something about the abbey is deeply unsettling. As she wrestles with her true identity, the ruin, decay, and secrets she finds at the heart of the old mansion tear at her confidence and threaten to reveal her for who she really is. Only one man stands between her and the danger that lurks within--and only if he decides to keep her biggest secret hidden. (from Goodreads)
My Thoughts
How can we succeed in life if we don't know WHO we are and what our value is? Finding Lady Enderly is a story about identity and the power that is in a name.
Raina is intelligent, resourceful, and it turns out, the perfect person to fill in as Rothburne. But as she gets to know her new employer, it becomes apparent that everything is NOT as it seems. Who is this dreadful Earl? Who is the mysterious Uncle Wells? And WHERE is Lady Enderly???
The one constant in Raina's life is Sully. And the words and truths he spoke over her buried deep into her heart. Little by little, they come to the surface and with a little nudge from Uncle Wells, she finally believes in herself and her true identity.
Fraught with anxiety over the truth being revealed, Raina wrestles with her inner turmoil. Through her experiences, I was struck by the strong sense of identity that everyone else had, except her. I mean even the bad guy knew who he was. There is great power in a name and speaking the truth of that name over yourself is a crucial step in discovering who you are.
This is a story that speaks the truth. A story that will take you on an adventure, or two...A story that will leave you in suspense, and in the end wrap you in a warm hug. Ms. Politano has delivered another stunning tale of mystery and romance!

About the Author
I’m a work-from-home mom of two fun and adventurous littles and we’ll soon be homeschooling. I married my hero Vince, who is my love and my polar opposite. I write, he tears it up with the red pen. I break cars and other mechanical things, he puts them back together. He’s nailed the “speak the truth” thing, and I bring the “in love” part. But the real spark to our marriage is that he does not like chocolate and I… like it a normal amount. We love and live from our little house in the woods near Lake Michigan.
