The Daughter of Highland Hall Book Tour and Review
The Daughter of Highland Hall || Book 2, Edwardian Brides (Waterbrook Multnomah, October 2014)
What if the title, the estate, the life of security and splendor… what if it isn’t enough?
Strong-willed and beautiful, debutante Katherine Ramsey feels ready to take the London social season by storm, and she must. Her family estate, Highland Hall, has been passed to older male cousin Sir William Ramsey, and her only means of securing her future is to make a strong debut and find a proper husband. With her all-knowing and meddling aunt as a guide, Katherine is certain to attract suitors at the lavish gatherings, sparkling with Great Britain’s elite.
When a shocking family scandal sidelines Katherine, forcing her out of the social spotlight, she keeps a low profile, volunteering with the poor in London’s East End. Here Katherine feels free from her predictable future, and even more so as a friendship with medical student Jonathan Foster deepens and her faith in God grows. But when Katherine is courted anew by a man of wealth and position, dreams of the life she always thought she wanted surface again. Torn between tradition and the stirrings in her heart for a different path, she must decide whom she can trust and love—and if she will choose a life serving others over one where she is served.

My review;
Katherine has been born into the time where women need a man to be able to do whatever they wish. She is stuck with an Aunt who will stop at nothing to get her own way and find her a husband. The problem is that maybe Katherine doesn't want that kind of husband or life. When she begins to see a different world out there she wants to be part of it. Will she have the courage to follow the world she wants? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by The Litfuse Group for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
