Gwendolyn Ellison devotes herself to the children at Philadelphia’s Final Chance House of Refuge and becomes suspicious that someone is exploiting them for criminal purposes. Secret Service operative Josiah Isaacs is assigned to investigate the counterfeiting scheme, bringing him into close partnership with a woman whose faith challenges his own anger toward God. Protecting the children becomes increasingly dangerous as the criminals realize Gwendolyn is interfering. The final Hidden Hearts of the Gilded Age novel blends historical suspense, counterfeit investigations, faith, and romance as two wounded people fight for vulnerable children and reconsider what they believe about trust.
