Jewels
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I had read Like a River Glorious and Measure of Grace, which were both excellent, and I wanted to read this sequel, Jewels for a Crown, which was just as good--could hardly put it down until I had read it completely through. I ordered it Used from "Berniebae (bernman2) and it was in wonderful condition and I received it within two or three days from the day I ordered it. Couldn't ask for better service.
another great addition to this series

This book picks up the story of Corrine's daughter Jenny from book #2, who is now grown and finishing nurse's training. She is chosen to be a private nurse for a little girl with epilepsy for the period of 2 years in order to repay her education funding. Once Jenny meets twelve-year-old Celeste, however, she realizes that she has a huge task in front of her. Petted and spoiled due to her disease and the frequent absence of her widower father, Celeste is a commanding presence to deal with. She dismisses servants at her whim and takes no responisbility for her actions. Jenny realizes that she needs to rely on her strong faith in God to get her through the two long years ahead. As she does so, she also becomes a witness to Celeste's governess and other members in the household. This is a great story of faith getting a person through very difficult times.
Love, courage, honour and betrayal

This book has all of the above!! Lawana Blackwell took me once again to Victorian England and I loved the journey!! I laughed and cried at the characters' joys, sorrows, and triumphs. This book has a great plot and deserves 5 stars! Lawana Blackwell's VICTORIAN SERNANADE series are great, well-written, and well-researched. I felt that I was in London England; seeing all the parks,sights and people who lived in the 1870s there. Read this book! You won't be disappointed!
The book is a great example of faith.

Jenny's determination is encouraging, uplifting, and powerful. The book is good for all ages. This one is worth reading again and again. Good job Mrs. Lawanna.
