Melanie Dobson debuts Shadows of Ladendbrooke Manor. Shadows of Ladenbrooke Manor slips back and forth between
the 1950s and a contemporary story where we meet Heather the Doyles daughter. She
returns to her family’s cottage to sort through her parents belongings where she uncovers a string of shocking secrets that leave her wondering if anything her mother said about her childhood was true.
“Mother daughter relationships can be complicated,” Dobson concedes. “
I love when women of different generations are honest with one another about their weaknesses and offer each other
grace just as Christ gave freely to each of us.”
As Heather sorts through the belongings left behind in the cottage, trying to separate truth from deceit, she has
an uncomfortable reunion with her first love. Together, they unravel a mystery that will change ever
ything she
thought she knew about herself and her family.
Award winning author Dobson seamlessly weaves the past and present together, fluidly unraveling the
decades old mystery to reveal how the Doyle and Croft families are entwined. Set in a charming world of
thatched cottages and lush English gardens, this
mystery highlights how God’s light cuts through the shadows of life bringing
transformation and restoration and creating
beauty from the ashes of our lives
