Everton Diaries #3
Elegant Everton
Edith Price grew up in a wealthy home with anything she could ever want, but she still feels like her life is missing something. When her older sister leaves for England for the summer, she's left to find herself outside of her sister's shadow and she soon realizes that she longs for a simpler life. Can she find the strength to accept her true self and turn away from her family's expectations?
Andrew Grant is a quiet farmer who lives for working the land and caring for livestock. When he realizes what little he has could never be enough for the girl he finds himself falling for, he has to decide whether to walk away now, or offer her what he has.
In this story of family, friendship, social classes and ultimately love, we see two people from opposite worlds bridge the gap between social expectations of the time.

EDITH AND ANDREW
It was fun to be back in Everton and I enjoyed the story of Edith Price and Andrew Grant. These two are not strangers because Edith’s brother Jack is married to Andrew’s sister, Elinor. You can find the story of Jack and Elinor-- Enchanting Everton. The story is a sweet, clean, historical tale. While this story is part of a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
Edith Price is the youngest daughter who tries to mimic her older sister, Caroline, but they are both rather different. Caroline is outgoing and loves to be the life of the party and Edith would rather be quiet in a corner observing others. With Caroline going across the ocean to spend the summer with Aunt Mary, Edith is content staying in town.
Andrew Grant is a simple man, who loves his family, loves the land and is carrying of those around him. His family has taken in two cousins who lost their parents. That means more mouths to feed so Andrew takes a job working at the sawmill in Everton. He will stop by his sister Elinor’s house on the way home from town to see how she is doing.
The story’s plot will bring Andrew and Edith together more often while at Jack and Elinor’s home, especially when baby George isn’t feeling well. Edith doesn’t want an elaborate life, she actually envies the simplicity of what Elinor and Jack have. She will have Elinor teaching her how to cook and maintain a home. When you come from wealth, that has always been done for you.
The story is about family, friendship, and feelings. It is about knowing what you want and being honest with those around you to admit it. Wealth doesn’t equal love and Edith refuses to settle for anything but love. When a wealthier suitor comes calling, it makes Edith uncomfortable, and she must make decisions. It has to be what her heart wants and not what others think is best for her.
“Do what’s going to make you happy and don’t worry about anyone else.” –Aunt Mary
I loved the characters, the emotions, the angst, and the chemistry. From the time Edith and Andrew meet, there is a connection and I'm glad they make things work. The old adage that money won’t buy happiness is definitely true. The story is the final one in this three-book series.

Love the simpler life
Though money and wealth are fine, the simpler things in life are what’s real. Andrew and Edith found what truly matters and that’s love. Without love life is nothing.

I love Morgan Dawson stories, they remind me what it was like to be young and in love or wanting love. I know that life is going to be an adventure for Edith and Andrew (I’m glad I don’t have to eat her cooking). I will miss Everton.
