A Daily Rate by Grace Livingston Hill audiobook.

Genre: romance

Celia Murray is a lonely young woman trying to make an honest life for herself in Philadelphia, earning a modest wage and renting a room in a bleak boardinghouse where the food is poor and the atmosphere is worse. Separated from Aunt Hannah - the loving, steady presence who once made her childhood feel like home - Celia clings to her faith while wondering whether anything in the city can ever feel warm or safe. Then an unexpected inheritance drops into her lap, and Celia dares to imagine a different future. Instead of chasing comfort for herself alone, she sends for Aunt Hannah and pours her new resources into a bold experiment: transforming the shabby boardinghouse into a true home, one clean room, nourishing meal, and quiet act of kindness at a time. As the house begins to change, so do the lives inside it, and Celia discovers that ministry is often made of ordinary days and imperfect people. But new hope brings new risks - jealousy, misunderstanding, and the ache of wanting more than she feels she deserves. When Horace Stafford, a compassionate mission-chapel minister, steps into their orbit, Celia must confront the secret longing she has tried to bury and decide what trust really costs.
