Women of Ivy Manor ~ Lyn Cote

Women of Ivy Manor is a series that was written a couple of years ago but one I love to read and recommend to my friends.  There are four books in the series and each book features a Lady from the Manor, each one from the next generation.

Chloe ~ Chloe is born to a life of privilege and wants to please, and earn the love of her parents. But as she grows up she realizes that she needs to leave her family behind. She moves to DC and marries a soldier who dies in the World War I. She moves back home finding out she is pregnant with her late husbands baby. You will enjoy how the timeline moves in this movie. Chloe must learn how to trust God.

Bette ~ The second book in the series. Bette is Chloe's daughter. Bette has been raised by her grandmother in Ivy Manor. Bette also marries a soldier who goes to fight in WWII. Her husband leaves her for another woman ans Bette must raise her daughter alone. Follow Bette's life through the war, and her life as a mother and woman.

Leigh ~ The third book and the daughter of Bette. Leigh is living life as a flower child. She is living after WWII and headed through life and anti-war marches. Leigh has to prove to herself and her family that she is a fighter and a Lady of the Ivy Manor.

Carly ~ The last book in the series is about Leigh's daughter Carly. This book is more modern day but still making its way through the history and trials that women faced through the years. Carly follows in the men's footsteps and joins the army. The end of the book cleans up the series really nicely and helps close the chapters on their lives as a family. These books all give a great history lesson, life lessons, and the way God loves us no matter what choices we make in life.
