Sarah Clyburn is ready to end her marriage of one year to
her husband Bram. Bram is deciding whether he should run in
the government as their state's senator. But Sarah is being
blackmailed about her past, and if it comes out that she was
an escort during her college years, Bram's chances as
senator will be ruined along with their reputation. Even
though Bram knows all about Sarah's past, Sarah is about to
sacrifice herself so Bram can have his dream.
Bram's grandparents, Evvie and Edgar know all too well what
their grandchildren are experiencing. As Evvie takes aside
Sarah and Edgar does the same with Bram, they both tell how
they met each other during the depression of the 1930's and
up through World War II. It seems that when Evvie was
sixteen, she had no other means to help support her family
and became a prostitute at Miss Hattie's brothel. There she
meets Edgar and they fall in love, but Evvie's work and
Edgar's pride almost ruins their relationship. Sarah and
Bran listen to past memories of a different time how in the
end love does conquer all. But will Evvie and Edgar's story
help Sarah and Bram's marriage? Will Bram still go forth and
try to become a high ranking official regardless of the fact
that his and Sarah's relationship maybe ruined forever?
UPSTAIRS AT MISS HATTIE'S is a wonderful and emotional love
story that spans sixty-five years. Ken Casper truly caught
my attention from the first chapter with his skill at
writing this beautiful love between Evvie and Edgar. I find
this to be a wonderful and emotional read. Not many can
write a story of this magnitude and show the all
encompassing love that Evvie and Edgar have for each other.
We are given a touchy topic the world of paid sex and
prostitutes that are not usually touched upon in a romance
of this nature. I was pleasantly surprised how Evvie made no
excuses for the actions she took and that of Edgar who shows
his undying devotion for his dear wife. I recommend this
story for anyone who wants to be moved to tears.
Young Bram and Sarah Clyburn are about to end their
marriage and go their separate ways—a big mistake in the
minds of Bram's grandparents, Evvie and Edgar, the same
mistake they almost made many decades ago.
Evvie's family had come to Texas from the dust bowl of
Oklahoma, looking for opportunity but finding only hardship
in the waning days of the Depression. Desperate times
sometimes require desperate measures, and Evvie took them—
measures that shamed her and threatened Edgar's love. But
during the war years of sacrifice and separation they
learned that their love could surmount anything—even
Evvie's shameful past.
After sixty-five years, they share their shocking story for
the first time. Will it be enough to save Bram and Sarah's
marriage?
