The Forsaken Lacemaker of Hampstead: Victorian Romance
Rachel Downing
In the shadow of Victorian London, Mabel Fairchild's life is shattered by false accusations and devastating loss. With two younger siblings dependent on her care, she makes an impossible to keep her family together despite the world's cruel intentions.
Armed with nothing but her mother's lacemaking skills and unwavering determination, Mabel navigates the treacherous streets of London. Each delicate stitch she creates becomes both her survival and her art in a world that offers little mercy to those without means or name.
When fate leads her into service at the imposing Montague household, Mabel finds herself caught in a web of social expectations and hidden agendas. Her connection with Edward Montague, a young doctor with dreams of his own, threatens carefully laid plans and long-guarded secrets that powerful figures will stop at nothing to protect.
As illness and adversity test her resolve, Mabel must decide what sacrifices she's willing to make. Can she pursue both duty and desire? Will she dare to reach across the divide of class for a chance at happiness?
From the leafy lanes of Hampstead to the heart of Derby, Mabel's journey weaves together threads of injustice, ambition, and the delicate strength found in both lace and love. In a society that values station over character, can the fine patterns of truth finally emerge?
