16 Lighthouse Road (Cedar Cove Book 1)

The Mommies Reviews

I finished the last book I was reading which was Danielle Steel’s Beauchamp Hill and like all of Daniell Steels books I loved the storyline but there is one part of the book which is defiantly not for a child’s eyes which if you can move past that part of the story you will fall in love with the characters and the storyline.

The main character goes through some horrible things but is able to overcome all of them and end up with a life we all would give our eye teeth for. In the book were able to travel to London and through the story I felt like I was there. The plot is about a TV show and how once the show closes they revamp and start a whole new career. There is love, suspense and drama.

I wish there was a second book so we could see what happens in the future but Beauchamp Hills does like a lot of Danielle Steel’s books do and that is wanting more and it’s why I can’t wait to purchase Upside Down which came out on (January 2, 2024). Before you ask no, I haven’t had the opportunity to purchasing Upside Down yet, but as soon as I find it I plan on purchasing Upside Down because when I was in Walmart last week they didn’t have the book.

As I was deciding what to read this week I went to my bookshelf and looked through my Debbie Macomber (Author) books I had. I found my Cedar Cove series and had thought of re-reading them but I didn’t have book one which is 16 Lighthouse Road (Cedar Cove Book 1). I do have book two and they can be read out of order but David is off tomorrow and I’m going to Half Price books to see if they have a copy of the book and if not I may stop by the library but I would like to have the book so I have the whole series.

About: Beauchamp Hall

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Danielle Steel tells the uplifting story of an ordinary woman embracing an extraordinary adventure, and the daring choice that transforms her world.

Winona Farmington once dreamed of graduating from college, moving to New York City, and pursuing a career in publishing. Then real life got in the way when she left college and returned to her small Michigan hometown to care for her sick mother.

Years later, stuck in a dead-end job and an unsatisfying relationship, Winnie has concluded that dreams were meant for others. She consoles herself with binge-watching the British television series that she loves, Beauchamp Hall, enthralled by the sumptuous period drama set on a great Norfolk estate in the 1920s. The rich upstairs-downstairs world brilliantly brought to life by superb actors is the ultimate in escapism.   

On the day Winnie is passed over for a long-overdue promotion, she is also betrayed by her boyfriend and her best friend. Heartbroken, she makes the first impulsive decision of her conventional life—which changes everything.

She packs her bags and flies to England to see the town where Beauchamp Hall is filmed. The quaint B & B where she stays feels like home. The brother and sister who live in the castle where the show is filmed, rich in titles but poor in cash, are more like long-lost friends than British nobility. And the show itself, with its colorful company and behind-the-scenes affairs, is a drama all its own. Winnie’s world comes alive on the set of the show.

What happens next is the stuff of dreams, as Winnie takes the boldest leap of all.  Beauchamp Hall reminds us to follow our dreams. . . . You never know what magic will happen!
