Clouds Over Bowland

In a quiet Lancashire valley in 1814, a man seeking order finds his beliefs tested when war reaches even the most peaceful corner of England. Drawn into a close-knit Quaker community, he must decide what he owes to others-and what kind of man he wants to be.

"A wonderfully written, well-researched, engaging and unusual story." 
–Kathleen McGurl


1814. In a quiet Lancashire valley, far from the battlefields of Europe, Hugh Armstrong hopes to build a life of order and respectability–leaving behind a past he would rather forget.

But the war is closer than he thinks.

In a single day, everything begins to shift. He encounters escaped French prisoners of war and is led to a body thawing in the snow.

As unease spreads through the close-knit community, Hugh is drawn into the lives of his mostly Quaker tenants and into the Hutton family in particular. Dorcas, with her quiet strength and independence, challenges everything he believes about justice, compassion, and the life he has chosen.

In a place where loyalties run deep and secrets do not stay buried, Hugh must decide not only where he stands, but what he owes to others and what kind of man he wants to be.

A warm, absorbing and thought-provoking historical novel of conscience, community, and an unexpected love in a time of unrest.
