The Lacemaker’s Secret
About this audiobook
1847
In a small lacemaking village, Alma and her sisters work around the clock crafting a lace wedding veil of extraordinary beauty. But beneath the delicate work, their world is far from secure.
Marked by the stigma of their mother's suicide, they endure the village's cruel whispers, while Alma faces a forced betrothal to the odious Lord Edmund.
When two clairvoyants arrive, peeling back the layers of a community hiding its darkest secrets, Alma is forced to confront a family past that someone will do anything to keep hidden.
Because some doors, once opened, cannot be closed...
