The Bride Of Ivy Green (# 03in Tales From Ivy Hill Series)

Julie Klassen

Paperback

Description: Come home to Ivy Hill, where friendship endures, romance triumphs,
and mysteries are revealed in this eagerly anticipated conclusion. . . .

Spring is in the air . . . and change is too. Mercy Grove has lost her girls' school and is resigned to life as a spinster, especially as the man she admires is out of reach. She contemplates leaving Ivy Cottage to become a governess--a decision with consequences she never imagined.

Meanwhile, her friend Jane Bell is facing a difficult decision of her own. Should she accept Gabriel Locke even if it means giving up her inn and destining another man to a childless marriage?

When a secretive new dressmaker arrives in the village, Mercy, Jane, and the other ladies of Ivy Hill attempt to befriend her, but they soon suspect she isn't who she claims to be.

Together, the women of Ivy Hill look forward to one wedding, but surprises lie in store and dearly held dreams may yet come true.

"Set in 1821 in the idyllic English town of Ivy Hill, book three in Klassen's Tales from Ivy Hill series is a charming meander through the lives, loves, and difficulties of three friends. . . . Readers of previous installments will enjoy the small but important developments of Klassen's large, memorable cast."--Publishers Weekly

"Klassen has written a fitting conclusion to her series. . . . The faith elements are light-handed, as the characters face their new challenges in their lives and learn to trust God in all situations. Readers will appreciate the nod to Jane Austen, as well as the depth of the historical details, as they return to Ivy Hill."--Christian Library Journal
