About this listen

Kate's loyalties bind her to the past. Henry's loyalties compel him to strive for a better future. In a landscape torn between tradition and vision, can two souls find the strength to overcome their preconceptions? Perfect for fans of North and South and Poldark, The Weaver's Daughter explores class tensions in this enemies-to-lovers, clean Regency romance.

Loyalty has been at the heart of the Dearborne family for as long as Kate can remember, but a war is brewing in their small village, one that has the power to rip families asunder--including her own. As misguided actions are brought to light, she learns how deep her father's pride and bitterness run, and she begins to wonder if her loyalty is well-placed.

Henry Stockton, heir to the Stockton fortune, returns home from three years at war hoping to find a refuge from his haunting memories. Determined to bury the past, he embraces his grandfather's goals to modernize his family's wool mill, regardless of the grumblings from the local weavers. When tragedy strikes shortly after his arrival, Henry must sort out the truth from suspicion if he is to protect his family's livelihood and legacy.

Henry has been warned about the Dearborne family. Kate, too, has been advised to stay far away from the Stocktons, but chance meetings continue to bring her to Henry's side, blurring the jagged lines between loyalty, justice, and truth. Kate ultimately finds herself with the powerful decision that will forever affect her village's future. As unlikely adversaries, Henry and Kate must come together to find a way to create peace for their families, and their village, and their souls--even if it means risking their hearts in the process.

For anyone who loves a clean, character-driven Regency romance wrapped in historical intrigue, The Weaver's Daughter is the kind of novel you’ll want to get lost in. Don't miss this poignant and powerful, stand-alone historical romance, where Pride and Prejudice meets Downton Abbey with a dash of gentle suspense and timeless charm.

Critic reviews

'A strong choice for fans of historical fiction, especially lovers of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. It will also appeal to admirers of Kristy Cambron and Tracie Peterson.'
'Ladd continues to write refreshing Regency romance with a spotlight on the working-class countryside life as opposed to the ballrooms and bustle of London. . . the Romeo-and-Juliet-esque romance between Kate and Henry is perfectly paced and dimensional. . .'
'Loyalty, love and forgiveness all have their place in this story, which is rich with historical detail. Readers will sympathize with the characters' inner struggles as they face the difficulties that come when a way of life must transform.'

The difficult days of change in the production of cloth. Characters brought to life with good and bad, reconciled by a creative and sympathetic woman in the days when they had very little power.

History relived

Even though the story is in the romance genre, it was more about the war between the miller's and weavers and coping with expectations. The romance itself was very slow in coming. By the time other characters started pointing out that the Hero and Heroine were in love I was kind of surprised. They didn't spend much time together. So, I honestly don't feel like we got enough time to see how the romantic relationship developed. I would have loved to see a deeper love because it seemed more like a crush.

More war than romance
