A heartwarming novel of a young woman and her daughter starting over in a Welsh town after the sudden death of her husband. With the discovery of a mysterious letter, she discovers that her husband had inherited a castle in the town that he grew up in. With that information, she begins her life anew and discovers hidden secrets and forms new friendships. I loved the characters and the descriptions of the Welsh countryside. I look forward to reading more from this author.

What a delight this book is and best of all it's the first in a trilogy! Lowri has been widowed young and has a young daughter Wren. She discovers that her husband had a secret inheritance that he'd not shared with her. She sets off on a journey of discovery and takes us with her in this compelling story. I can't wait for the next instalment.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for an early review copy.

I really enjoyed reading this book by a fabulous author.

I recommend this book.

Secrets of Clearwater Castle by Emma Davies

Heartbroken Lowri Morgan, a young Welsh widow, is finally packing up her beloved husband’s belongings, her young daughter Wren asleep at her side. Then, hidden amongst the very last pile of papers, Lowri finds an official-looking letter – and her whole world shifts…

Her husband had a secret inheritance, one he’d never mentioned or done anything about. And now, it seemed, somewhere called Clearwater Castle was hers – and, in time, little Wren’s. How could he have hidden this from her and why? And what on earth was she going to do?
Loved the idea of the storyline of this book and found it very intriguing , unbelievable yet believable as her husband may have known what could lay ahead of them and not want to take the task on.
Lowri however ( and perhaps because of bereavement ) decides o take a look at Clearwater Castle and thinking it's also a legacy for their daughter stays and takes it on.
Enjoyed it and looking forward to reading more.

A heart-warming, gorgeous story of family secrets, lost loves, and one woman’s fresh start in the most unexpected of places. This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review.
