Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. This week, I’m featuring a story of friendship, Ladies of the Lake by Cathy Gohlke.

My Summary:

When eleven-year-old Adelaide’s parents die, her older brother (and now guardian) sends her to Lakeside Ladies Academy in Connecticut. Even though she’s lonely and distraught, she makes friends with three girls and they refer to themselves as “ladies of the lake.” One tragedy (an actual historical event), one boy, and one war later, Adelaide is now Rosaline, a popular author. Her daughter is about to graduate from Lakeside Ladies Academy and Rosaline is invited to attend. But is Rosaline ready to return to the place of so many memories, face her past, and reconnect with the friends she has abandoned?

Engaging women’s historical fiction….
