A Preview of The Legacy of Longdale Manor, by Carrie Turansky        

From the desk of Laurel Ann Nattress: 

Happy #bookbirthday to bestselling and award-winning author Carrie Turansky’s, The Legacy of Longdale Manor. This dual-timeline novel spans one hundred years in the lives of two heroine’s and is set at an English country manor house in the picturesque Lake District.

Here is a preview of the novel for you. The advance reviews have been glowing. I found it utterly charming and highly recommend it for those who like authors Kate Morton and Lauren Willig.

Enjoy, Laurel

BOOK DESCRIPTION

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.
