They Waited Their Whole Lives for Their Papa to Return

Nan and Heath Duncan, siblings abandoned by their papa and abused by their guardian, have no choice but to survive on the London streets. When a kind gentleman rescues Nan from such a life, the siblings are separated and raised in two vastly different social worlds. Just when both are beginning to flourish and years have healed some of their wounds, their long-awaited papa returns and reunites them—bringing demands with him. Nan is expected to marry a rich suitor she’s never liked, and Heath is expected to forsake his gentle spirit and become the hardened man his father always was.

Dangers unfold, secret love develops, fights ensue, and murder upsets the worlds Heath and Nan have built for themselves.

They’ve waited their whole lives for their papa to return, for tomorrow to come—but now that it has, will they be able to see through to the truth and end this whirlwind of a nightmare before it costs one of their lives?

My Thoughts:

This was a very interesting story, a little Dickensian, as this story starts out with a very poor brother and sister. They are so poor that the sister, Nan Duncan, is starving, and both she and Heath, the brother, are living in a crate on the streets. They are waiting for their father to return from the sea, and the place where he left them was no good. So they ran away. Then Nan is injured and is taken away by a Mr. Stanhope, and Heath watches as he sees his sister going to a better life. Their parallel stories are told as they grow up in different environments.

The Stanhopes have two children of their own, Gilbert and Charlotte, who grow up with Nan who is now living in their home. The passage of time comes and goes, and then like the title states, tomorrow comes. Now Nan has her long-lost family back, but not without conditions. What is she to do when she is so torn by her long lost dream and her heart?

This story was very good and had themes of love and loyalty, family and treachery, and two romances. I know how I wanted the story to end, I was not disappointed, and it was quite a tale to get there.

I was provided a copy of this novel from the publisher. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

More from Hannah

Love interests me. Not just in the romantic sense, but in every sense, because love is the driving emotion behind so much of what we do. It’s the heartbeat of everything. What do we have but love? Yet isn’t it the very essence of our greatest pain?

Sometimes it doesn’t make sense. Sometimes love has no reason. Like a tumultuous wind or a wet branch that sways in different directions, love is often petulant and aimless and powerful. But sometimes it’s soft, like a flower lifting dewy petals to the sunshine. The epitome of everything good, sweet, and true.

What makes love change? What makes two friends who have always been fraternal one day confess romantic affection? How much wrong, how much affliction, does it take for sweet love to sizzle into hatred? Even then, is it really hatred? Or merely the charred crust of the adoration still throbbing beneath? And how strong are the cords of new love? Will they break at every pull and tug, or are they more unfaltering than anyone might think? 

Maybe those are silly questions. Maybe, like snowflakes, every heart knows a different answer. But if I explored anything in When Tomorrow Came, it was this. I glided through the story and felt love shift from brotherly to intimate, from hopeful to disappointed, from untested to proven, from safe to betrayed.

Just as love is the heartbeat of life, it is also the heartbeat of this story. I hope you will find yourself falling in love with the characters and their journey as much as I did.
