Echoes of Love — Elisabeth Beresford

Holly was lovely at nineteen. But at seventeen, when she first arrived at the Paxtons', hired as mother's helper, she was still a somewhat awkward, outspoken girl -- a daydreamer fresh from a country orphanage entering a sophisticated urban world. Madge Paxton was a high-powered career woman. Her husband, Christopher, a struggling playwright, embodied all Holly's dreams. But dreams were not enough. As Christopher offered Holly is love, the tragic complexities of his life became real for her, and her own life became tangled with confusions.

Caught between her attraction to Christopher and her growing awareness of Brian Cooper, an embittered young man whose sorry predicament tugged at her heartstrings, Holly desperately sought a solution. Somehow she had to find out where she belonged, and in that special place she would discover the lasting love she craved with all her heart.
