The Making Of A Gentleman

by Ruth Axtell Morren
Historical Romance
Steeple Hill Books – 2008

London, 1812

Florence Hathaway is a volunteer at Newgate Prison. She attends all hangings. Today, Jonah Quinn is to be hanged. Just as the hanging starts, a group of men rush the gallows freeing Jonah Quinn. He takes Florence hostage and escapes.

The following day Florence was released by Jonah. She told him to come to her brother, the curate of a local church, and he could help him.

It was decided that Jonah was a victim of circumstances and not a criminal. The plan to help him was to train him to be a gentleman. This program was hard on everyone. Jonah was still an escaped prisoner.

This is a lively story filled with action, tension, and much faith. Ms. Morren has redeemed herself. This book was far superior to her other book I read. It's a good story and a good read!
