Much has happened in idyllic Ivy Hill in recent months, and while several villagers have found new love and purpose, questions remain—and a few dearly held dreams have yet to be fulfilled. Jane Bell is torn. Gabriel Locke is back and has made his intentions clear. But Jane is reluctant to give up her inn and destine another man to a childless marriage. Then someone she never expected to see again returns to Ivy Hill. . . . Mercy Grove has lost her school and is resigned to life as a spinster, especially as the man she admires seems out of reach. Should she uproot herself from Ivy Cottage to become a governess for a former pupil? Her decision will change more lives than her own. A secretive new dressmaker arrives in the village, but the ladies soon suspect she isn't who she claims to be. Will they oust the imposter, or help rescue her from a dangerous predicament? In the meantime, everyone expects Miss Brockwell to marry a titled gentleman, even though her heart is drawn to another. While the people of Ivy Hill anticipate one wedding, an unexpected bride may surprise them all. Don't miss this romantic, stirring conclusion to Tales from Ivy Hill.

      Set in 1821 in the idyllic English town of Ivy Hill, book three in Klassen’s Tales from Ivy Hill series (following The Ladies of Ivy Cottage) is a charming meander through the lives, loves, and difficulties of three friends. With her brother moving back to their home of Ivy Cottage, Mercy Grove will have to discontinue the school she has been running there. Feeling torn between her need to teach, her desire to watch after her students, and her required duties as a proper lady in the Grove family, Mercy lingers at Ivy Cottage upon her brother’s arrival. Her friend Jane, meanwhile, is busy running a coaching inn, the Bell, and wavering on a marriage proposal from her boyfriend. Rachel is the only one of the three best friends who is happily settled after recently marrying. When a new French dressmaker comes to Ivy Hill, many in the town question her abilities, leaving the three friends to offer their camaraderie and support. With a breezy plot centered solely on the developing romances and workaday lives of the ladies of Ivy Hill, there is minimal narrative movement but plenty of discussion of the virtues of faith and Godliness. Readers of previous installments will enjoy the small but important developments of Klassen’s large, memorable cast.
