When family expectations and societal pressures collide with love and faith, which values will emerge the victor? Award-winning author Carrie Turansky explores this theme in her new book, The Daughter of Highland Hall.
Book two in the Edwardian Brides series, The Daughter of Highland Hall, follows 18-year-old Kate Ramsey on a journey of self-discovery as she travels to London to make her societal debut. Her overbearing aunt insists she secure a marriage proposal from a wealthy, titled man. As Kate begins making the round of balls and garden parties, she attracts the attention of Edward Wellington, who seems to have all the qualifications on her list. Yet, is he the best choice? Will this lifestyle bring her true happiness?

Fans of this time period, as represented in the popular TV show Downton Abbey, will be charmed by The Daughter of Highland Hall, which captures both the upstairs and downstairs aspects of Edwardian life, giving readers an emotional connection with the aristocratic Ramsey family and the hardworking, loyal servants.
This pure and inspiring romance will warm the hearts of readers and ultimately point them to the Author of their own love stories.
Carrie Turansky’s The
Daughter of Highland Hall beautifully follows up The Governess of Highland Hall in her Edwardian Brides series. This
second novel has many of the same characters as the first, and I loved seeing
the wonderful glimpses of Julia and William together, while two previously
minor characters, Katherine Ramsey and Jonathan Foster, move to the forefront
of the story and take the lead. As these two lead characters pursue dreams,
confront important decisions about the future and determine God’s path for
their lives, Turansky takes her readers on quite an adventure through London
society. Once again, she authentically maintains a Downton-Abbey feel, and I loved every bit of the story. With plenty
of romance and spiritual growth, The
Daughter of Highland Hall is a sweet, inspirational read and I think fans
of The Governess of Highland Hall, Downton Abbey or simply historical romance will enjoy it.
