Publisher Description
Cora is about to discover who she truly is. It’s the summer of 1913, and Cora Kensington’s life on the family farm has taken a dark turn. Not only are the crops failing, but someone dear to Cora is failing as well. One fateful afternoon, a stranger comes to call, and Cora discovers a terrible secret about her past… a secret that will radically change her future. Cora is invited to take the “Grand Tour” of Europe, a trip intended to finish a person’s education and solidify an understanding of refinement and ancient culture. As she travels from England to France with kin she’s never known, Cora encounters the blessings of a family name, as well as the curses. But when an unbidden love begins to form, she realizes there are far greater challenges ahead…. The first audio book in the Grand Tour series will take you on a journey of cultural refinement—but, moreover, on an inner journey of self-discovery.

“I began reading this book unsure if I was going to enjoy it. I am sooo glad I did. Bergen is so talented in developing each of her characters. It was clever to read from each of their perspectives. The book didnt jump around like some when the author is trying to write from different viewpoints. It flowed great and I found myself unable to put it down. Cora was a delight as the reader struggled with her in finding herself as she traveled abroad. The criticism and judgemental people she faced was very realistic. In the end she prevails and finds herself but also finds herself with several admirers. I love the way it ended. I was struggling to decided who I thought she should end up with but the author left it up to the reader. It appears as though a second book could be made from this too! It is well worth your time to read this!!”
