In A Vote of Confidence, the stage is set for some intriguing insight into what it was like during 1915 to be a woman in a 'man's world.' Guinevere Arlington is a beautiful young woman determined to remain in charge of her own life. For seven years, Gwen has carved out a full life in the bustling town of Bethlehem Springs, Idaho, where she teaches piano and writes for the local newspaper. Her passion for the town, its people, and the surrounding land prompt Gwen to run for mayor. After all, who says a woman can't do a man's job? But stepping outside the boundaries of convention can get messy. A shady lawyer backs Gwen, believing he can control her once she's in office. A wealthy newcomer throws his hat into the ring in an effort to overcome opposition to the health resort he's building north of town. When the opponents fall in love, everything changes, forcing Gwen to face what she may have to lose in order to win.

2.5 stars for “better than okay”
Honestly, when I pick up a Robin Lee Hatcher book, I'm going for really deep characters, a serious faith lesson, and a storyline that packs an emotional punch. This one's a lighter read, and since it's an older work of hers, I'm guessing the book simply represents an era before she came into her own as a truly irresistible author!
I'd recommend it for younger readers, late teens and new adult level, who may not be as demanding of their stories.
