Sarah E. Ladd's latest book, The Governess of Penwythe Hall, takes place in the year 1811, in Cornwall, England. After Cordelia Greythorne's husband and daughter tragically die, you learn that she relocates from Cornwall to London, to start over and care for Mr. Twethewey's children. Cordelia hoped to never step foot in Cornwall again; unfortunately, when Mr. Twethewey unexpectedly dies in a riding accident, Cordelia and all five children are sent to live with the children's uncle. Jac Twethewey lives in Penwythe Hall, in none other than Cornwall, England!
As Cordelia and the children learn to adjust to their new lifestyle in the country, Cordelia has another fear. She now is physically too close to her late husband's family. This family of smuggler's have a very dangerous way of life!
Hold on tight as you watch Cordelia attempt to avoid interaction with the Greythorne family, while trying to provide for the well-being of the young lives in her care. This is a tale not to be missed!
I received this book from Thomas Nelson in exchange for my honest review.
