Coerced into New York's corrupt 1905 Children's Court, widowed law clerk Mae Turner must rubber-stamp orphan train removals to keep her son. But she can't stop fighting for the children either—and Foster is watching every report she files.
How does a woman already inside the machine fight the machine?
She learns the language of the reports.
She finds a woman who survived him once before.
She bets everything on a man who doesn't care about justice—only votes.
But now Foster is walking Simon home from school.
And Mae's revised files already cost a trusted judge his seat.
In this Gilded Age legal thriller, following the rules is how children disappear. Breaking them is how Mae survives. She's running out of moves that don't destroy something she loves.
Compelled By Intent—Book Two of the Mae Turner Series.
Readers of orphan train historical fiction, Gilded Age suspense, historical mystery, wrongful child removal, Progressive Era women's history, and legal conspiracy thrillers will find exactly what they came for—and an ending that demands Book Three.
