Summary
Katherine and David lead very different lives. She’s an up-and-coming reporter, an heiress, and does what she wants. He’s a newsboy, a breadwinner, and deeply religious. All she wants is to make a name for herself and prove that she’s as capable as any man. All he wants is to graduate and feed his family.
They’re from two different worlds and should never have met. Logically, they should go their separate ways. Instead, they fall in love.
