Question
I am trying to find the correct title and/or author of a book for my mother.  She remembers reading a book that belonged to her grandmother.  Which she read when she was a young girl.  The book would have been written in the early 1900's. My mother thought that the title was "Her Only Sin."  It was about a wealthy woman who had a baby, at the same time one of her servants also had a baby.  No one is aware that the womans infant dies, so the servant replaces her child for the dead one...knowing that her child would be raised by the wealthy couple as their own.  That's about all I know about this book.  My mother told me that she would love to find it, which is why I have been searching, but I'm not finding anything by that title.  Are you aware of it?
Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

Answer
Hello Cindy,
  I am not 100% sure, but I rather think the book you are referring to must be "Her Only Sin" By Charlotte. M. Braeme (often also listed under her pseudonym Bertha M Clark). Several of her books are available online and this title is listed alongside most of them. Your mother may recognize the author's name. If so there are at least 5 sites offering it for sale.
Hope this helps!
Sindhu.
