The Governess of Penwythe Hall, by Sarah Ladd

Cordelia Greythorne has a secret, and she doesn't want to admit it. But this secret will come back to haunt her as she tries her best to be a governess to the Twethewey Children. Cordelia is a widow and was pushed away from the family estate that she had married into. She was no longer welcome and had to find a living.

She became the governess to the Twethewey children after their mother had died and their father needed some assistance. He is a successful businessman whose fortunes are growing on a daily basis. The children have everything they need and Cordelia finds a true vocation for herself.

Then the father dies in a tragic accident. Now what will happen. The children, their governess and their male tutor are sent to live with the brother of their deceased father, Jac Twethewey. No one seems happy to have this happen.

But Jac turns out to be a blessing in disguise to the children. And the children turn out to be a blessing to Jac. Both will find love, care and family with each other.

Cordelia will find turmoil though. She is now living back close to the Greythorne family and her secrets will come back to haunt her.

Sarah Ladd gives an artful piece of writing as she captures the fears, anxiety and emotions of both a governess, the children and their uncle. Weaving into that the history of the 1800's and you find a delightful read for your springtime pleasure.

Enjoy!
