For fans of the hugely popular Downton Abbey television series and lovers of British historical sagas, award-winning author Murray Pura continues the enthralling story of the Danforths of Lancashire.
The second book in the series (following Ashton Park) transports the reader back in time to 1924 as Sir William—recently named Lord Preston—celebrates his sixtieth birthday at the Danforth summer home in Dover.
Although the ravages of World War I are in the past, new threats loom as a man named Adoph Hitler publishes a book called Mein Kampf. Is he a danger to Europe? And what of Lord Preston’s growing friendship with an up and coming political leader named Winston Churchill?
On the home front, one of the Danforth daughters, the recently widowed Catherine, sells her home in Belfast to spend more time at Dover—where she finds herself annoyed at the impertinent German theologian her father has befriended.
The entire Danforth family faces many changes as illness and tragedy strike. Young Edward finally makes his move into the political arena while Michael and Libby welcome a new family member.
Readers will be captivated by the upstairs/downstairs interplay as they once again savor this compelling saga of the well-loved Danforth family overcoming obstacles by placing their trust in the God who has always been faithful.

“This is my first book by Murray Pura, but will not be my last. I found it very exciting, page-turning, and unpredictable. I have not read book one in this series, however, I had no problem keeping up with all that was going on. If I would have read the first one it may have opened up more information for me, however I found it was not necessary.
“He has much detail and many different family members in this book. They are all faced with many different challenges in life and must rely on God and family to see them through. They do not always get along or agree, yet that is true to life. I think you will find yourself in one or more of the Danforth family members. Sometimes you agree with them and sometimes you want to slap them.
“This book takes you from war, peace, struggles, heartache, death, love, and much more. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in Historical Romance. It is also nice to read something from a man’s point of view.”
