Publisher's summary

Some guests have come for a holiday, others for hidden reasons of their own . . .

When their father's death leaves them impoverished, Sarah Summers and her genteel sisters fear they will be forced to sell the house and separate to earn livelihoods as governesses or companions. Determined to stay together, Sarah convinces them to open their seaside home to guests to make ends meet and provide for their ailing mother. Instead of the elderly invalids they expect to receive, however, they find themselves hosting eligible gentlemen. Sarah is soon torn between a growing attraction to a mysterious Scottish widower and duty to her family.

Viola Summers wears a veil to cover her scar. When forced to choose between helping in her family's new guest house and earning money to hire a maid to do her share, she chooses the latter. She reluctantly agrees to read to some of Sidmouth's many invalids, preferring the company of a few elders with failing eyesight to the fashionable guests staying in their home. But when her first client turns out to be a wounded officer in his thirties, Viola soon wishes she had chosen differently. Her new situation exposes her scars—both visible and those hidden deep within—and her cloistered heart will never be the same.

Join the Summers sisters on the Devonshire coast, where they discover the power of friendship, loyalty, love, and new beginnings.

Much enjoyed

Loved the characters and the story line. The ending left me a bit disappointed and without closure for some of the characters, however it seems there is to be another installment coming soon. Looking forward to more from this author.

great characters

Loved this seaside family and their deep bond. it was an easy listen and there were many well developed characters. Loved the nod to Mrs. Elton/Auestonian development...that made me chuckle.

Refreshing

Julie Klassen never disappoints. This story was intricate, yet sweet and wholly refreshing. I only wish I didn’t binge this audiobook. Next time I will read the print version, and savor the story a little bit longer ;).

Good story

Slow at first but more interesting as the characters developed. Loved the book and want it to continue as a short series about the other sisters and their guest house clients.

If you love little women

If you love little women.., If you love jane austen.. This book has that charm But completely original, you will love this book. It's so charming, It's so well written It's quite exciting as well. I used to read many of Julie's books, but this one is a shining star. Her other books are very good too.. I have not read them all, but quite a few I had taken a break from reading due to migraines for quite a few years and wanted to catch up, Decided to try audiobooks. So glad I did as many others know. You get to do your chores and still use your imagination and be in another world. This book had such good ratings, I Decided to go for it first. I remember really loving julie's book, but this one just really has my heart. I believe there's a sequel and i'm just thrilled.

Intriguing With Surprise Twists

A storyline that is more believable than the Harlequin romances that are all packaged perfectly. The hero and the heroine are human, make mistakes, and work through them, by the grace of God. Not too preachy, and not too steamy. A good read altogether.
