Sir William Ramsey, a widower with two young children and two cousins to raise, hires Julia Foster daughter of missionary parents as governess of Highland Hall. Sir William is preoccupied with raising enough money to save the estate from ruin and pay the death duties for his inheritance. He is embittered after learning of the unfaithfulness of his deceased wife and finds it hard to trust any woman. Julia though educated and qualified to be governess has lived most of her life in India with her parents rescuing young girls from slavery. Her high ideals and outspoken manner causes some controversy from the beginning. Toss in the resentful teenage nieces who remained in the home after the dead of their father and conflict abounds. Two romances in the story are doomed because of the strict class divisions in Edwardian England. If you enjoy Downton Abbey you will love this Christian romance.
I received this book free from Multnomah Press to review for Blogging for Books.
