Escaping an abusive husband and the tragic loss of her newborn child, Tressa O'Daire leaves her home of Dublin, Ireland, for the unknown shores of New York City. There, she finds work in the powerful Langley family as a nurse-maid to a baby girl. The Langleys allow Tressa, a master baker by trade, to use their baking oven and she starts a business and a new life.
Ethan Langley, crippled in a riding accident that left him bound to a wheel chair, has spent the last eight years in his room escaping the embarrassment to his family and the hatred of his brother, Heaton. The only bright spot in his life is his sister, Sarah; until a certain Irish baker arrives and turns his life upside down.
Their very lives are threatened when the head of the Langley household dies unexpectedly leaving the business and family fortune to Heaton. As Heaton and his wife, Victoria, bring the family to the brink of ruination, Tressa and Ethan must save whatever they can, including the budding love between them.
This is the second edition of this novel.

A good read.
Traveling Through A Tale
"Tressa" is a masterpiece of strength, stubbornness, and triumph. As someone who has been through abuse, this book helped me heal in a way I didn't know I needed. Set in the early years of American immigration, it is a story that shows you a different time and place while you cheer on the characters. If you are a fan of historical fiction, I highly recommend this book. If there is a physical copy I am definitely buying it for my collection to reread over and over again.
