Congratulations to Karen Campbell Prough who was the winner of last week's Giveaway of Julia's Hope by Leisha Kelly!
This week's Giveaway:
The Governess of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky
Worlds lie between the marketplaces of India and the halls of a magnificent country estate like Highland Hall. Will Julia be able to find her place when a governess is neither upstairs family nor downstairs help?
Missionary Julia Foster loves working alongside her parents, ministering and caring for young girls in India. But when the family must return to England due to illness, she readily accepts the burden for her parents’ financial support. Taking on a job at Highland Hall as governess, she quickly finds that teaching her four privileged, ill-mannered charges at a grand estate is more challenging than expected, and she isn’t sure what to make of the estate’s preoccupied master, Sir William Ramsey.
Widowed and left to care for his two young children and his deceased cousin Randolph’s two teenage girls, William is consumed with saving the estate from the financial ruin. The last thing he needs is any distraction coming from the kindhearted-yet-determined governess who seems to be quietly transforming his household with her persuasive personality, vibrant prayer life, and strong faith.
While both are tending past wounds and guarding fragile secrets, Julia and William are determined to do what it takes to save their families—common ground that proves fertile for unexpected feelings. But will William choose Julia’s steadfast heart and faith over the wealth and power he needs to secure Highland Hall’s future?

DeleteI remember reading good things about this book when it first came out! And of course as a Downton Abby fan I am sure I would enjoy the upstairs/downstairs aspect of the book.

DeleteI have read this book and loved it! :) Since I am a huge fan of Downton Abbey (and heard that it was similar to Downton Abbey), I was a bit hesitant to read it but it was totally worth it :) I would read it multiple times haha.

You're in the drawing, Susieq. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI absolutely LOVED The Governess of Highland Hall. Carrie created a fabulous Edwardian world with all the upstairs/downstairs intrigue of Downton Abbey. Can't wait for the next book in the series!!!
