Unrivaled

Just like major food companies have their recipes patented, and under lock and key. This story deals with candy. Yum!
Their are two main characters here and the story is told from each perspective. Lucy Kendell begins with a return home from touring Europe, and Charlie Clarke's begin with his being released from jail. Because of the bad crowd Charlie is being sent to live with his father, who abandoned the family when he was seven.
The year is 1910 and both now live in St. Louis, and both are beginning their adult lives in Candy. Charles father owns the biggest factory to make candy in St. Louis, Standard Manufacturing. Lucy's father used to own Charles' Dad's factory, but lost it, along with his recipe for Royal Taffy. He now own a small confectionery store, but is unable to work as he has had a heart attack.
Lucy is devastated that no one let her know about her Dad's condition while she was in Europe. She has all kinds of schemes that she has planned. in mind to help her Dad. She blames her Mother for her Father's problems.
Charles has bitter families about his Father. Can see why he feels like that, a little Child with the responsibility of taking care of a family.
Will either of these two be able to find forgiveness, will they be able to accept the Lord's Grace. We hope that they will find some peace.
A real page turner of a story, and some of the things that happen you won't have seen coming!!
