Two women--a century apart--embark on a journey to healing, faith,
forgiveness, and romance. In 2012, art historian Gwen Morris
travels to England's Lake District to appraise the paintings and
antiques of an old family friend, hoping to prove herself to her
prestigious grandfather. While at Longdale Manor, she meets David
Bradford--the owner's handsome grandson--who is desperate to save
the crumbling estate by turning it into a luxury hotel. When Gwen
stumbles upon a one-hundred-year-old journal and an intricately
carved shepherd's staff similar to one in a photo of her parents,
she's left searching for answers. In 1912, after her father's
death, Charlotte Harper uncovers a painful family secret she can
only confess to her journal. She and her family travel to the Lake
District to stay on a sheep farm, hoping eventually to find a home
with Charlotte's grandfather at Longdale Manor, but old wounds and
bitter regrets make it a difficult challenge. As Charlotte grows
closer to shepherd Ian Storey and rebuilds her shattered faith, she
must decide whether she will ever trust in love again. Praise for

Between the years of 1869 to 1939 more than 100,000 poor British
children were sent across the ocean to Canada with the promise of a
better life. Those who took them in to work as farm laborers or
household servants were told they were orphans--but was that the truth?
After the tragic loss of their father, the McAlister family is living
at the edge of the poorhouse in London in 1908, leaving their mother to
scrape by for her three younger children, while oldest daughter, Laura,
works on a large estate more than an hour away. When Edna McAlister
falls gravely ill and is hospitalized, twins Katie and Garth and
eight-year-old Grace are forced into an orphans' home before Laura is
notified about her family's unfortunate turn of events in London. With
hundreds of British children sent on ships to Canada, whether truly
orphans or not, Laura knows she must act quickly. But finding her
siblings and taking care of her family may cost her everything.
Andrew Fraser, a wealthy young British lawyer and heir to the estate
where Laura is in service, discovers that this common practice of
finding new homes for penniless children might not be all that it
seems. Together Laura and Andrew form an unlikely partnership. Will
they arrive in time? Will their friendship blossom into something more?
Inspired by true events, this moving novel follows Laura as she seeks
to reunite her family and her siblings who, in their darkest hours,
must cling to the words from Isaiah: "Fear thou not; for I am with
thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God".
What if the title, the estate, the life of security and
splendor...what if it isn't enough? Strong-willed and beautiful,
debutante Katherine Ramsey feels ready to take the London social
season by storm, and she must. Her family estate, Highland Hall,
has been passed to older male cousin Sir William Ramsey, and her
only means of securing her future is to make a strong debut and
find a proper husband. With her all-knowing and meddling aunt as a
guide, Katherine is certain to attract suitors at the lavish
gatherings, sparkling with Great Britain's elite. When a shocking
family scandal sidelines Katherine, forcing her out of the social
spotlight, she keeps a low profile, volunteering with the poor in
London's East End. Here Katherine feels free from her predictable
future, and even more so as a friendship with medical student
Jonathan Foster deepens and her faith in God grows. But when
Katherine is courted anew by a man of wealth and position, dreams
of the life she always thought she wanted surface again. Torn
between tradition and the stirrings in her heart for a different
path, she must decide whom she can trust and love-and if she will
choose a life serving others over one where she is served.
