Why read it?

1 author picked The Governess of Highland Hall as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

If you’re like me and a fan of Downton Abbey, then you’ll appreciate the well-researched Edwardian period details found in this charming story, as well as the sweet romance. Julia Foster is not your usual governess, having a remarkable backstory of her own, but the way she cares for the widowed William and his children is heart-warming and will captivate your heart. 

From Carolyn's list on for romance-loving Christians.
