The Law and Miss Mary (Thorndike Christian Historical Fiction)

It's disgraceful how St. Louis's orphans are treated, and Mary Randolph plans to do something about it. She's lost her faith, but she still has compassion and a drive to help innocents in need. If she has to battle with by-the-book police captain Samuel Benton to protect them, she'll give him a challenge he'll never forget. A poverty-stricken childhood left Sam hungry for the social acceptance now within his reach. But Miss Randolph's feisty perseverance gives him second thoughts . . .
