In a quiet corner of northern Edwardian England, Margaret Lounsbury diligently works in her grandmother’s millinery shop, making hats and caring for her young sister. Several years earlier, a terrible event shattered  their idyllic family life and their future prospects. Maggie is resilient and will do what she must to protect her sister Violet. Still, the loss of her parents weighs heavily on her heart as she begins to wonder if what happened that day on the lake…might not have been an accident.
 
When wealthy inventor and industrialist William Harcourt dies, his son and Maggie’s estranged childhood friend, Nathaniel, returns from his time in the Royal Navy and inherits his father’s vast estate, Morningside Manor. He also assumes partial control of his father’s engineering company and the duty of repaying an old debt to the Lounsbury family. But years of separation between Nate and Maggie have taken a toll, and Maggie struggles to trust her old friend.
 
Can Maggie let go of the resentment that keeps her from forgiving Nate—and reconciling with God? Will the search for the truth about her parents’ death draw the two friends closer or leave them both with broken hearts?

      Starred review from March 15, 2017

      In Edwardian England, childhood friends Maggie Lounsbury and Nate Harcourt are abruptly separated after Maggie's parents drown in a boating accident. Maggie and her sister are sent away to live with a distant relative, and Nate joins the Royal Navy. When his father dies, Nate returns to run his family estate and discovers Maggie working at her grandmother's hat shop. The two friends have much hurt and anger to resolve before their friendship, let alone love, can flourish. VERDICT Turansky's (A Refuge at Highland Hall; "Edwardian Brides" series) beautifully written romance will sweep readers into an enchanting world, where life isn't ideal, but where faith shines a path through the darkness. Its heartwarming and hopeful story arc, gentle prose, and charming characters will attract new readers to Turansky's growing legion of fans.
