When Edith Davies is unexpectedly made both unemployed and homeless, she will take any opportunity going. Soon one comes in the shape of Trenton Manor, a crumbling mansion which local aristocrat Lord Pickles wishes to sell, so Edith jumps in with both feet. Along with her parents’ introverted lodger, Stephanie, Edith takes on the role as live-in cleaner. However, when the discovery of a hidden room reveals a stunning hundred-year-old secret, Edith can have no idea of the rollercoaster that lies ahead. Against a backdrop of warm autumn colours, Edith will both step out of the shadow of her famous sister, help Stephanie overcome her demons, and maybe even find love with an old classmate, Anthony, whom Edith best remembers as the boy she once pushed into the school pond. Set in the beautiful countryside outside the beloved Devonshire town of Brentwell, Autumn on Maple Tree Lane brings all the romance, humour, and seasonal goodwill that CP Ward’s readers have come to expect.
