I thought this book would be more about what a 'Harvey Girl' did in the 1800's. A man named Harvey started restaurants next to train depots in the US and had girls go through a 3 month training before they were hired at a Harvey house to bus tables, clean, and cook. They were very famous becuase each girl was taught one skill, such as pouring coffee, or serving food. Then when each girl did her one duty, the service was very quick. Anyway, the book turned out to be historically interesting, but then it turned into a Christian novel. The main character spend more time wondering about God then doing anything. An interesting read, I enjoyed it.
