About This Book
Worlds lie between the marketplaces of India and the halls of a magnificent country estate like Highland Hall. Will Julia be able to find her place when a governess is neither upstairs family nor downstairs help?Missionary Julia Foster loves working alongside her parents, ministering and caring for young girls in India. But when the family must return to England due to illness, she readily accepts the burden for her parents’ financial support. Taking on a job at Highland Hall as governess, she quickly finds that teaching her four privileged, ill-mannered charges at a grand estate is more challenging than expected, and she isn’t sure what to make of the estate’s preoccupied master, Sir William Ramsey.
Widowed and left to care for his two young children and his deceased cousin Randolph’s two teenage girls, William is consumed with saving the estate from the financial ruin. The last thing he needs is any distraction coming from the kindhearted-yet-determined governess who seems to be quietly transforming his household with her persuasive personality, vibrant prayer life, and strong faith.
While both are tending past wounds and guarding fragile secrets, Julia and William are determined to do what it takes to save their families—common ground that proves fertile for unexpected feelings. But will William choose Julia’s steadfast heart and faith over the wealth and power he needs to secure Highland Hall’s future?

My review:
I spent a pleasant day reading The Governess of Highland Hall, book #1 in the Edwardian Brides Series by Carrie Turansky. Julia Foster is a character that has a great faith in God and a very caring nature. Having spent 12 years in India as a missionary with her parents has allowed God to mold Julia into a women who can be used by Him to minister to others. Upon her arrival at Highland Hall she soon has Sir William Ramsey's children, Andrew and Millie happy to have her as their governess. Sir Williams cousins who Julia is to also teach are not so quickly won over. Being a governess is a sometimes confusing roll, because Julia is not upstairs family nor downstairs help. Sir William is drawn to Julia and finds it hard to trust because of his deceased wife's behavior, but he finds Julia very easy to confide in. God is no respecter of persons or social class and when he puts love in a heart, it is a love worth fighting for.
Clark Dalton and Sarah, Sir Williams sister are two of my favorite characters in
this book. I would have loved for them to have their own book, but their romance was an added bonus to this book.
If you like Downton Abbey you are sure to love The Governess of Highland Hall.
I look forward to the next book in this series. I give this book a high 4.
I received my review copy from Multnomah Books and Blogging For Book for my honest review.
