About this audiobook

In the style of Jane Austen, debut author Julie Klassen delivers a compelling Regency Era novel. A vicar's daughter avoids her neighbors' scorn by finding refuge in London's Milkweed Manor, a mysterious bastion of old secrets and new life. Trying to conceal her identity, she encounters a former suitor with secrets of his own. Resolved to protect their loved ones, neither realizes the level of self-sacrifice this will require. "This strangely sad, yet hopeful tale ... will make your heart sing." -Edgy Inspirational

Ratings and reviews

Wonderfully written! It's beautifully sad in places and ultimately shares a story of love, loss, and healing. One of my favorite things about Julia Klassen's books are the quotes and references at the beginning of each chapter that add historical context
