When Life Seemed Its Worst, Gresham Awaited
Julia Hollis' opulent life in Victorian London crashes to pieces when her husband passes away. Worse, she is told by his bankers that he gambled away their fortune. Now, the family's hope rests on The Larkspur, an old abandoned coaching inn in the quaint village of Gresham.
Driven by dread and her desire to provide for her children, Julia decides to turn the dilapidated inn into a lodging house. But can she--who was accustomed to servants attending to every need--do what needs to be done and cope when boarders begin arriving? And then an eligible new vicar moves into town...

A very enjoyable positive tale about a recent widow starting a boarding house from scratch in an English village. We meet many interesting and varied characters and her children and their personal trials and tribulations are also well-written and enjoyable. This is a light Christian tale that addresses a variety of issues lightly, positively but realistically and the author steers clear of pretending that she has all the answers.

Thanks, for a great book of how God can move us painfully on to a new, but better, life if we'll let Him. This book did a great job of doing just that. Thanks
