Standing in the Shadows — Jennie Walters

Grace is a kitchen maid, but unlike her mother, Polly, she doesn't enjoy life inside the house--she'd much rather be working in the stables with the horses. Teas and shooting-party luncheons will soon become a distant memory. It's 1914, and war is about to turn the country upside down. Tragedy comes to Swallowcliffe Hall, and life there changes more dramatically than anyone could have ever imagined. Amid the turmoil, Grace discovers a dark family secret that has been hidden for years. Learning the truth brings its own heartache, and now she faces a new challenge. Is she brave enough to step out of the shadows and claim her rightful place in this dangerous new world?
