"Inside the glass orb was a miniature garden and a house. If she stared long
enough, she could almost see the people inside. But whether they were trapped
there, or kept safe, in that miniscule snowbound world, she couldn't have
said..." ~Judith Kinghorn, THE SNOW GLOBE
About THE SNOW GLOBE
Christmas 1926 holds bright promise for nineteen-year-old Daisy Forbes, with
celebrations under way at Eden Hall, her family's country estate in Surrey,
England. But when Daisy, the youngest of three daughters, discovers that her
adored father, Howard, has been leading a double life, her illusions of
perfection are shattered. Worse, his current mistress, introduced as a family
friend, is joining them for the holidays. As Daisy wrestles with the truth, she
blossoms in her own right, receiving a marriage proposal from one man, a
declaration of love from another, and her first kiss from a third. Meanwhile,
her mother, Mabel, manages these social complications with outward calm, while
privately reviewing her life and contemplating significant changes. And among
those below stairs, Nancy, the housekeeper, and Mrs. Jessops, the cook, find
that their long-held secrets are slowly beginning to surface...
As the seasons unfold in the new year, and Daisy moves to London, desires,
fortunes, and loyalties will shift during this tumultuous time after the Great
War. The Forbes family and those who serve them will follow their hearts down
unexpected paths that always return to where they began...Eden Hall.

Historical fiction are my favorites. When you add books about England to the mix, you have my complete attention!! To add the era of the 20's to the equation, I'm in complete bliss!! After reading the synopsis, I was beside myself that I didn't have a copy of your book in my hands, to start reading your book immediately, because your book is exactly what I'm looking for!! I also adore snow globes, and own a couple, in my ecclactic mix of collectibles. For now, I can only put your book on my TBR list, and hope to read it in the very near future - like when I finish with a couple of books that I really want to read for similar reasons. They spoke volumes to me, as this book does. Congratulations on what I'm sure is a book that will do very well!! (Peggy Roberson 6:55pm March 10, 2015)
