standalone
Contemporary
Publisher: Thomas Nelson (November 3, 2015)
rated: 4/5 stars
Synopsis:
When Lucy’s secret is unearthed, her world begins to crumble. But it may be the best thing that has ever happened to her.
Lucy
Alling makes a living selling rare books, often taking suspicious
liberties to reach her goals. When her unorthodox methods are
discovered, Lucy’s secret ruins her relationship with her boss and her
boyfriend, James—leaving Lucy in a heap of hurt and trouble. Something
has to change; she has to change.
In a sudden turn of
events, James’s wealthy grandmother, Helen, hires Lucy as a consultant
for a London literary and antiques excursion. Lucy reluctantly agrees
and soon discovers Helen holds secrets of her own. In fact, Helen
understands Lucy’s predicament better than anyone else.
As the
two travel across England, Lucy benefits from Helen’s wisdom as Helen
confronts ghosts from her own past. Everything comes to a head at
Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters, where Lucy is reminded of the
sisters’ beloved heroines who, with tenacity and resolution,
endured—even in the midst of impossible circumstances.
Now Lucy
must face her past in order to move forward. And while it may hold
mistakes and regrets, she will prevail—if only she can step into the
life that’s been waiting for her all along.
My thoughts:
I received this from NetGalley for an honest review. I thoroughly
enjoyed this book and found it refreshing after reading the same kind of
genre for awhile. Lucy had made some mistakes in her personal life and
in her career. After losing the man she was seeing and then meeting his
grandmother. Lucy and Helen go on an adventure to right their wrongs. I
loved both of these strong women and the people that they encountered.
