The Governess of Highland Hall by Carrie Turansky
Edwardian Brides Series Book 1
Julia Foster has just returned from twelve years as a missionary in India. She worked alongside her parents and they have just returned to England because of her fathers health. They hoped to return to their mission duties once he is well. Until that time she needed to work to help support her parents. She was thankful to get the governess job at Highland Hall, as it is walking distance to her parents.

Sir William Ramsey has found himself with a title and lands. What he didnt expect was the financial state his late cousin had left behind. He needed to find a way to save Highland Hall as people depended on him. His sister, two children and the two daughters of his late cousin. His late wife had left him embarrassed and untrusting so the idea of marrying for money was the last thing he wanted, but would it be his only choice?

Julia is somewhat like a Christian Mary Poppins. She brings joy to the people shes around and looks at everything in a positive light. Such as, where people see young Andrew as wild, she sees a nine year old boy. The author has brought the characters to life in such a way that this reader shed more than one tear during this story and also found it hard to set the book down. The story pulled me in and held me all the way to the end. Im looking forward to the next two books in this series.
