About Lady of Blossholme
The Lady of Blossholme is an exciting tale, set in 16th Century England, and featuring such historical figures as Cromwell and King Henry VIII. Cicely Foterell lives a quiet life alone with her father, but the times are changing, and the Spanish Abbot Maldon sees his chance to obtain her family's lands. Attempts to outwit his plotting seem to fail, and soon Cecily's only option is to marry at once. But the Abbot may not be above murder, for he is now driven by the rumor of the legendary Carfax Jewels. Only Cecily's faith keeps her going as she seems to lose everything bit by bit, until the secret of the jewels is all that is left to her. But are they worth her life? Condemned as a witch to be burned unless she reveals her secret, Cicely wavers. Will her strong will conquer? Or has her faith been crushed by all her suffering? A compelling story of one woman's quiet determination when life itself seems against her. (Summary by LuellaMargaret )
