Lady of Milkweed Manor By Julie Klassen
Paperback, 411 pages
Published January 1st 2008 by Bethany House (first published 2007)
Genre Christian,Historical,Romance
Format Paperback

As Charlotte drew closer to the looming grey edifice that was to become her temporary home, she could not help but notice the secretive shuttered windows. Then she noticed the milkweeds…
Even a proper vicar’s daughter can make a mistake…and now Charlotte Lamb must pay a high price for her fall. To avoid the prying eyes of all who know her, she hides herself away in London’s forbidding “Milkweed Manor,” a place of mystery and lore, of old secrets and new birth.
But once there, she comes face-to-face with a suitor from her past—a man who now hides secrets of his own. Both are determined, with God’s help, to protect those they love. But neither can imagine the depth of sacrifice that will be required.
Sprinkled with fascinating details about the lives of women in Regency England, Lady of Milkweed Manor is a moving romantic drama about the redemption of past failings and the beauty of sacrificial love.
Why did I add Lady Of Milkweed Manor to my shelf?
I bought this at a used bookstore in 2016. I had read so many great reviews on this and was so excited to find it to purchase. I have read a lot of books by this author and enjoyed them all. Unfortunately I kept adding new books to my to be read shelf and this one seemed to fall by the way side. I still do want to read it though and need to make time to do so. If only I hadn’t found Netgalley my at home shelf would be dwindling instead of just sitting there. 🙂
Have you read this or any books by this author? What are your thoughts?
Thank you for visiting today. Have a wonderful day.

I haven’t read this author yet but it sounds like a great story. I know exactly what you mean about neglected books you have had for a while so that you can get to those NetGalley reads. Thanks for joining in this week!

You’re welcome, it’s fun to join in. I like this one. You should give this author a try when you get a chance. I still have one of her books on NetGalley waiting for me as well. It;s from March. Too many books sound great! Thank you for commenting!
