One of my favorites that I have read this year. The storyline is similiar to several other books I have read but Julia's character really drew me into the story and I loved her reaction on first seeing Larkspur. This takes place in the late 1800s near London. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

I loved this book! It is a period book and it is a story of courage and a strong faith in God. The characters are charming and real. Life in a small town can be so very rewarding and when the good things start to happen, you want to cheer for the main characters.
A very easy and worthwhile read!
