This fourth book is divided into two parts with a unique timeline. We discover Nellie Whitmore's side of the story, beginning with the Easter Parade in New York City, the greatest socialite event of the year. We follow Nellie as she journeys from America to Britain aboard the RMS Lusitania. New characters from London are introduced with a captivating story of their own.
Part II returns to Davenport House, resuming in the exact moment that Book 3 left off. The dynamic of the house changes once again with an announcement from Mary Davenport. Ethan is anxious to move to a new home, but difficulties stand in the way of his ability to leave. Tragedy hits the house once more, testing the loyalty, friendship, and resilience of its residents. I hope you enjoy the surprises in store in this fourth installment of Davenport House.
