Book Description:

​Ivy Knight feels that her life may never start. Though her loving family assures her that her place in the world is close to home, she still feels a push to move out of her comfort zone. Hoping against hope, she travels to her old friends at McCale House, seeking a purpose.

Jordy McAllen has just returned to Scotland after his education in London. He fears that what everyone has always said about him may be true: he can’t be a good doctor, let alone a good man. Determined to prove himself, Jordy snatches up the opportunity to become the doctor in the village of Keefmore near his parents’ farm.

​When an old friend decides to travel to Keefmore and visit a relative, Ivy follows. She soon finds herself drawn to Jordy, but as their attraction grows, they both face doubts. A relationship between the two of them feels improbable—and might just require a step of impossible faith.Buy the Book:Amazon

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

The Dressmaker’s Secret is a very interesting and intriguing historical fiction to read. Claire has a good business and is raising her twins herself. No one knows or needs to know who the father is. This is one secret she will keep, even from her daughters. Claire knows her scandalous past cannot be found out. But Alice wants father abd can’t understand why her mother won’t say who he is. So she will just search herself.

Kelly Roth does an excellent job writing this story. If you read the More from Kellyn you know how many times this story has been written and changed and how long it took to finally get this story printed. The end results are wonderful! There are a lot if twists and turns throughout the story, with characters you can’t help but love. I felt bad for Claire, her mistake is there to always condemn her. I hoped throughout the book that she will find forgiveness. Will she? Does Alice find the father she so dearly wants? You will need to read this book to find those answers. Author Kellyn Roth is new for me, and I enjoyed the way she handled the situations throughout the book, especially those that were tougher to deal with. I enjoyed her writing very much and can’t wait to read the next book in this series. If you enjoy historical fiction, you will enjoy this one.

A special thanks to the author/publisher for a copy of this book. I am not required to write a positive review, the opinions here are mine alone. I am disclosing this with my review in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
