Summary
Sophie Dupont assists her father in his studio, keeping her own artwork out of sight. In private, she paints the picturesque north Devon coast, popular with artists—including handsome Wesley Overtree, who seems more interested in Sophie than the landscape.

Captain Stephen Overtree is accustomed to taking on his brother Wesley’s responsibilities. Near the end of his leave, he is sent to find his brother and bring him home. Upon reaching Devonshire, however, Stephen is stunned to learn Wesley has sailed for Italy and left his host’s daughter in serious trouble.

Stephen feels duty-bound to act, and strangely protective of the young lady, who somehow seems familiar. Wanting to make some recompense for his own past failings as well as his brother’s, Stephen proposes to Miss Dupont. He does not offer love, but marriage “in name only” to save her from scandal.
If he dies in battle, as he fears, she will at least be a respectable widow.

Desperate for a way to escape her predicament, Sophie finds herself torn between her first love and this brooding man she barely knows. Dare she wait for Wesley to return? Or should she elope with the captain and pray she doesn’t come to regret it?

Finding Julie Klassen has been a dream. British history, romance and drama, through a Christian lens is perfection! Loved The Painter’s Daughter!

Such a good read! Great character development and the narrator was phenomenal. I was in tears both happy and sad with the ups and downs of Sophie.

Really enjoyed the Painters Daughter. Definitely similar to a Jane Austin book, which I love. I really like there is a Christian tone to the story. It’s a great read!

I really enjoyed this “read”. Very good twist on a romantic plot, kept me guessing. Interesting excerpts on fighting in the napoleon war. Narrator did an excellent job with both mail and female voices. Highly recommend!

very nice book!

This was an amazing story of complicated love and hate in the setting of the historic Revolutionary War. The depth of character development of each individual in this story is fascinating. Highly recommended. E. Longmire

Beautiful tale of redemption and love. Quite a nailbiter at times, loved it, wish I could read about these characters again!
