Lady of Milkweed Manor, book #14

 

I have read several books by Julie Klassen (see here, here, and here) and I even watched a "Book Talk" with her and a few other authors.  You have to be in the mood for Julie's books (they are thicker than most and take place mostly in the Victorian Era) but if you are, you are in for a treat!  I did not realize this was actually the first book she ever wrote, but reflecting back I can see where (even at 416 pages!) it is not as detailed as some of her others.  I still highly recommend it! (Funny note, I had a hard copy of this book that I read that I think I got at a used bookstore sometime, then later realized it is actually on my Paperwhite!)

Even a proper vicar’s daughter can make a mistake…and now Charlotte Lamb must pay a high price for her fall. To avoid the prying eyes of all who know her, she hides herself away in London’s forbidding “Milkweed Manor,” a place of mystery and lore, of old secrets and new birth.  But once there, she comes face to face with a suitor from her past–a man who now hides secrets of his own. Both are determined, with God’s help, to protect those they love. But neither can imagine the depth of sacrifice that will be required.  Sprinkled with fascinating details about the lives of women in Regency England, Lady of Milkweed Manor is a moving romantic drama about the redemption of past failings and the beauty of sacrificial love.

Not sure what is up next, I've got a busy week or two with graduations, wedding showers, and work!  But I still want to find something for my few minutes of escape!

Keep Reading!
