Review
Finding out that her husband is trying to sell Willowbrook, property that has been in her family for generations, is the last straw for Ella Turner. She and Miles have been at odds since the birth of their daughter Amy, who suffers from SMA, a genetic disorder. Three years after the divorce, Cameron O'Neal arrives to view the property for a ruthless corporation that is determined to acquire it. Cameron is actually finished with the corporate life; this is his last assignment before changing careers. Ella's property in Wiltshire outside of London takes his breath away, as does its beautiful owner. Recognizing Willowbrook's historic value, Cameron promptly quits his job. He will do anything so that Ella can hold on to her property--and maybe him as well if he can convince her that he is a friend, not a foe. Jacobs' gentle English romance will keep readers happily entertained. --Booklist, 1st May 2009

More About the Author
Anna Jacobs was born in England but emigrated to Australia thirty years ago. Now she and her husband spend part of the year in each country. She's totally addicted to writing, and produces three novels a year. If she slows down, new characters nag her till she tells their stories. And after all, dusting isn't important - story-telling is. She was first published in fiction in 1992 and as of April 2011, she has had 53 novels published, a few under other names. At the moment Anna is writing historical sagas for one UK publisher and modern novels for another, but she doesn't guarantee not to try other genres. Writing is too much fun to be limited in any way. She's been married to her own hero for many happy years, and they have two daughters and one grandson.
Anna also wrote fantasy novels as Shannah Jay, and these books have now been reiussed as Kindle books.

This review is from: Saving Willowbrook (Kindle Edition)
Just finished reading Saving Willowbrook by Anna Jacobs. Saving Willowbrook is a wonderful snapshot of modern day rural life and the pressures financially superior urban dwellers apply. How folk flock to the uncomplicated country atmosphere to escape the over crowding of their grimy existence and in doing so bring unneeded baggage with them to share. Winding through this underlying theme is the most wonderfully moving story of love and commitment a person could ever hope to encounter. I enjoyed every minute of this charming read. --- An example of women's fiction at it's very best, five stars.
