A Passion Denied

by Julie Lessman

Book 3 of the Daughters of Boston series

Elizabeth O'Connor's affection for John Brady has grown beyond the friendship and spiritual guidance they have shared for years. John still tries to see her as the little sister he once protected, even as his own feelings become harder to deny. Secrets from his past threaten the relationship before it can become the future Lizzie imagines. The concluding Daughters of Boston novel combines an enduring family circle with longing, forgiveness, and the difficult work of letting another person see the truth.
