ABOUT THE BOOK

Title: Lady of a Thousand Treasures
Series: Victorian Ladies, Book 1
Author: Sandra Byrd
Publisher: Tyndale House
Release Date: October 9, 2018
Genre: Historical/Gothic Romance

Miss Eleanor Sheffield is a talented evaluator of antiquities, trained to know the difference between a genuine artifact and a fraud. But with her father’s passing and her uncle’s decline into dementia, the family business is at risk. In the Victorian era, unmarried Eleanor cannot run Sheffield Brothers alone.

The death of a longtime client, Baron Lydney, offers an unexpected complication when Eleanor is appointed the temporary trustee of the baron’s legendary collection. She must choose whether to donate the priceless treasures to a museum or allow them to pass to the baron’s only living son, Harry—the man who broke Eleanor’s heart.

Eleanor distrusts the baron’s motives and her own ability to be unbiased regarding Harry’s future. Harry claims to still love her and Eleanor yearns to believe him, but his mysterious comments and actions fuel her doubts. When she learns an Italian beauty accompanied him on his return to England, her lingering hope for a future with Harry dims.

With the threat of debtor’s prison closing in, Eleanor knows that donating the baron’s collection would win her favor among potential clients, saving Sheffield Brothers. But the more time she spends with Harry, the more her faith in him grows. Might Harry be worthy of his inheritance, and her heart, after all? As pressures mount and time runs out, Eleanor must decide whom she can trust—who in her life is false or true, brass or gold—and what is meant to be treasured.

Are you a fan of period romance? If so, this book will flutter your taffeta! It’s also a wonderful Christian read, filled with so many moments of hope and blessings. Sweet Eleanor is a treasure to find in these pages. This is the type of story Jane Austen would have loved!

Faith is the silk lining of Sandra Byrd’s novel. Faith in God, faith in humanity, and faith in memories — all of it played its importance in Lady of a Thousand Treasures. This quote explains it well…

“My papa had always told me when I felt something, trust it. Trust myself, even if it was the tiniest feeling that I was right…A small amount of faith would work wonders.”

We just returned from a trip to Universal Studios in Florida, and Harry Potter’s England is on my mind! Lady of a Thousand Treasures took me back to the world of Cornish pasties and Earl Grey tea. What a treat, indeed!
