Born to a life of wealth and privilege in turn-of-the-century Rhode Island, Emma Tremayne's life is all mapped out for her--including her engagement to the town's most eligible bachelor. Emma's sheltered world is shattered, however, when she discovers the horrifying working conditions in her fiance's textile mill. And when she encounters Shay McKenna, a brave Irish revolutionary, she learns what it will take to defy society's conventions, and experience a love she never thought possible.

Also, it's a very interesting experience reading The Passions of Emma right after Whispers of Heaven. Penelope Williamson and Candice Proctor are sisters, and you can definitely tell that upon comparing these two books. Not only are they both amazing writers (I at least am a big fan of their power to paint character and place so well), but these two books are uncanny mirrors of each other - the tone, conflicts, and characters are very similar. Just an interesting thing I noticed and thought I would remark here. Besides the ending being a bit rushed, (Williamson creates wonderfully vivid characters, but by the second half of the book their resolutions seem too swift to be convincing at times, and certain plot developements are perhaps overly dramatic) I highly recommend this book - if anything for its powerful originality (even being so close to Whispers of Heaven.)
