Christian historical romance

The Innkeeper of Ivy Hill

by Julie Klassen

After her husband's sudden death, Jane Bell learns that the struggling coaching inn at Ivy Hill is legally hers to manage. With little business experience and creditors pressing, she must decide whether to sell or rely on the skills of women whose livelihoods and community depend on the inn's survival. Her efforts intersect with the village's gentry, tradespeople, travelers, and friends, each carrying private hopes into a period of change. Warm and ensemble-driven, this series opener suits readers who enjoy Regency villages, female entrepreneurship, coaching inns, friendship, and leisurely stories where rebuilding a business also rebuilds a widow's confidence and sense of belonging.
