ABOUT THE BOOK
Orphaned as children, Hennie and Lottie share an unbreakable friendship. Together, they suffered the horrors of orphanages and the workhouse, and now grown, they continue to rely on each other. When Lottie approaches Hennie about a possible position at a manor house, Hennie is eager to work alongside her dear friend. However, to secure the positions as stable hands, they will have to undergo a bold act of deception: the women must disguise themselves as men.
Upon arriving at the manor, Hennie is stunned. Her new position is at Ivy Manor—the beautiful estate where her mother was employed long ago and where Hennie was raised until her mother's death. Hennie has wonderful memories of her friendship with the son of the house, Jack, and is shocked and dismayed to learn he has vanished. Living in disguise at the manor allows her to gradually uncover the truth of Jack's disappearance and eventually find him. Both Hennie and Jack are thrilled to be reunited, and their friendship is renewed. Soon, their relationship blossoms . . . and threatens their determination to remain concealed. With so much at stake, will they be prepared to risk everything for love?
REVIEW
Stansfield has written another compelling tale of love and friendship versus greed and manipulation. Hennie is brought to Ivy Manor by her friend Lottie to work in the stables disguised as a man. Hennie is stunned to be back at Ivy Manor, the place she grew up as a child before being sent to an orphanage after her mother died. But she settles in and grows to like her life, despite the deception. She's surprised to discover that the heir to the manor, her old friend Jack, has disappeared. She wonders about him, but doesn't expect to ever see him again. But life has a way of surprising one sometimes and she finds herself not only discovering Jack's location, but re-establishing her friendship with him. But as their friendship grows into something stronger, they are left trying to find a way to be together in the face of the challenges that sent Jack running in the first place. The tale is an intriguing one full of interesting twists and turns as Jack and Hennie face some pretty big obstacles. I enjoyed this very much and recommend it to those who enjoy a well-told story of love and mystery.
