Description
Prior to beginning a new year at Mrs. Goddard’s School for Girls, Miss Harriet Smith spends the summer months with the Martin family at Abbey-Mill Farm—a house of Israelites, or is it Hebrews? Would it be impolitic to call them Jews? It matters not, for Harriet finds contentment there. And, if her heart betrays her with stronger feelings for Mr. Martin than she ought to have, they are hers alone.
Alone… a common enough phrase for the natural daughter of nobody knows whom. But when Miss Emma Woodhouse requires a new friend to guide and mold, Harriet suddenly finds herself in the midst of one imbroglio after another. Forbidden assignations, sentimental blunders and questions abound!
Be it through gossip or vengeance— or small-minded people, “the instruments of darkness tell us truths.” Will Harriet remain encumbered to her mysterious past, or will astonishing discoveries provide the fulfillment she long desired?
Advance Praise
"Who could have guessed that under the genteel veneer of Jane Austen's Regency England lurked secrets beyond what could have been openly addressed at the time? In The Jews of Donwell Abbey, Trupp brings sidekick Harriet Smith to the forefront, her mysterious origins are explained, and her ultimate happy ending turned into a lesson about tolerance, acceptance, and the miracles hidden within mundane lives. The perfect companion piece!" Alina Adams, author

Featured Reviews

This was an engaging and beautifully written Jewish regency historical romance written about the life of a young orphaned woman in a rural English town. It tells of her journey of finding out her true heritage and parentage. I enjoyed reading so much of the knowledge of the Jewish culture, history, and the ways of their faith. There were son many other important plots and interesting characters that kept me very entertained. The ending was absolutely perfect and ended happily for so many. I highly recommend reading!
