The Governess of Highland Hill {Review}

The Governess of Highland Hill by Carrie Turansky was a good read. Julia is a missionary's daughter that is home with her family while her father recovers from an illness. She is hired as a governess by William a widowed father and caretaker of two young girls left in his care by his cousin that passed away.

Julia brings many sweet things to this family. She quickly transforms Williams children into well behaved children. She also helps to transform Williams sister Sarah into a confident woman, something she struggles with due to a deformity of her hand.

William quickly finds that he might just be falling for the governess but wonders if the feelings are mutual. This is the story, intertwined with the normal goings on of family life and the running of an estate.

This book was a good read and I would most likely recommend it to a friend. I do feel that at times the material did not hold my attention like other books I have read but I did enjoy it.
