Summary
What do you like about this book:
"Either your faith will move mountains, or your doubts will create them." - The Old Lace Shop
Finally absolved of her most unhappy marriage union, Bella White decides to remain a majority partner in one of her late husband's vast holdings; Nottingham Lace and Hose. The venture turns out to be much more than a second chance at life, it becomes the thinnest of second chances at love. Who will gather around the banquet table on Christmas Eve?
"One does not question an opportunity, my dear. One simply mounts it and rides." - 12 Days at Bleakly Manor
Stripped of her wealth, left at the altar by the man she loved, and betrayed beyond measure, Clara Chapman has nearly lost hope of an happily ever after. When the finely embossed invitation to Bleakly Manor arrives at the door of her aunt's modest residence on Christmas Eve, she has no idea what it means, but dutifully responds. Stranger things have never happened than during the 12 Days of Christmas, at Bleakly Manor.
"If we knew how things would turn out, then there'd be no need for faith". - A Tale of Two Hearts
Much was riding on a family inheritance; a contest of sorts between William Barlow and his pompous cousin, and while Will felt no compunction about risking his own heart. . . . . was it fair to risk the heart of a beautiful innkeeper's daughter?
A more clever, inspiring collection of Victorian Christmas tales would be hard to find!
