Lie a Little

A Heart-Warming Victorian Family Saga (The Faredene Trilogy, Book 1)

De: Debra Delaney

Narrado por: Alex Lee

Fans of Catherine Cookson and Helen Forrester will love this.

Endless years of a lonely, childless spinster’s life stretching ahead, Victoria Kavanagh finds an abandoned baby. She knows it’s the answer to her prayers. Or is it? Has she stolen him in a moment of madness? She’s come close to it before....

Desperate to keep him, she creates a past of her own design and moves to Faredene, but is her new life far enough away from the past she’s trying to escape? What a framework on which to build - one of lies and deceit.

Thrust into a world where men are vying for her attention, Victoria has to decide in whom to lay her trust. Can she learn to have faith in her own judgement? First, she must forgive herself for standing by while her father destroyed her mother - her private shame.

Unprepared for the challenges of motherhood and running her own business, whatever the future holds, there’s no turning back. Caring for people comes at a cost, and her desire to protect a friend sets off a chain of events that has repercussions for everyone whose lives she touches.... Her meddling may just be her undoing.

When danger threatens her son, Victoria has to make a heartbreaking choice - but is she ready to let him go?

5 stars Lie a Little

I love Debra Delaney books; been reader for years. This is another great story of intrigue and mystery.

Wonderful book

I amnot usually a fan of historical romances, but I really enjoyed this book. It emphasized family isn't only blood ties, but who you choose that matters the most. This book is set in the late 1800's and yet the evils of this world remain just as brutal as today.This book ends in a cliffhanger .

Ms. Lee the narrator did an amazing job of voicing various European accents. She provided a proper Enish accent for the characters of wealth and importance and slang for the impoverished. I need to listen to the next book in the series.
