her own. Should she accept Gabriel Locke even if it means giving up
her inn and destining another man to a childless marriage?

Jane, and the other ladies of Ivy Hill attempt to befriend her, but
they soon suspect she isn't who she claims to be.
Together, the women of Ivy Hill look forward to one wedding, but
surprises lie in store and dearly held dreams may yet come
true.
"Set in 1821 in the idyllic English town of Ivy Hill, book three in
Klassen's Tales from Ivy Hill series is a charming meander through
the lives, loves, and difficulties of three friends. . . . Readers
of previous installments will enjoy the small but important
developments of Klassen's large, memorable cast."--Publishers Weekly
"Klassen has written a fitting conclusion to her series.
. . . The faith elements are light-handed, as the characters face
their new challenges in their lives and learn to trust God in all
situations. Readers will appreciate the nod to Jane Austen, as well
as the depth of the historical details, as they return to Ivy
Hill."--Christian Library
