Julia has discovered that the death of her husband is also going to mean that she has to leave the home that she loves. Now she has to travel with her two children to a rural area and try to earn enough money for her family to live on.
Fortunately for her, one of the servants actually cares about her and decides to travel with Julia and the children. They work hard to try to establish the Larkspur Inn as a lodging house on an old carriage route. Since the railroad was established, the town has lost that business and Julia is going to have to work hard to make ends meet.
I made it to about 30% and decided to quit. At that point, the love interest hadn't even arrived in town yet. I had wrongly deduced that this was a romance novel and had expected it as such. The book is told from different points of view: Julia, the housekeeper Fiona, and Julia's son Phillip.
I just wasn't as interested as I thought I would be. I had hoped to at least meet the romantic interest character by 30% in, but it was not to be. Just not the book for me.
