1904: Ellen Copley is still a child when she leaves behind the sooty rail yards of Glasgow and crosses the Atlantic Ocean with a heart full of dreams. Yet within weeks of their arrival in America, her father has disappeared - leaving Ellen with resentful relatives, feeling alone and scared for her future.

But then her kind Aunt Rose invites Ellen to stay with her large family in their rambling house on beautiful Amherst Island, which nestles like a jewel in the blue waters of Lake Ontario.

There Ellen finally begins to find the love and acceptance she has long been craving - both from Aunt Rose’s boisterous family and from the boys next door, Jed and Lucas Lyman. It’s Jed she’s drawn to...the one with the twinkling eyes, who teases her, and laughs with her, and soon steals her heart....

But does Jed love her back? Because - even though Amherst Island feels like home - Ellen knows she can’t stay there with a broken heart....

This is the first book in the unmissable Amherst Island Trilogy that follows the life and love of Ellen Copley from the magic of Lake Ontario to the bloody battlefields of the First World War and beyond. Perfect for fans of The Oceans Between Us, The Orphan Sisters, and My Name is Eva.

Previously published as Down Jasper Lane.

Story of young immigrant girl left with her aunts and uncles. Unique but you see some influence from Ann of Green Gables. I think I have a new author whose books I want to read thru.

Good beginning

I love reading novels about immigrants during the turn of the century. They came with nothing, hoping to find a livelihood in a new, exciting country. Some found their way over time and others didn’t. This is a compelling first book of the series - a story of wonder and hope.

What a wonderful story. The words flew off the page as I read, turning into pictures in my mind. Ellen Copley is a lovely girl. It is the journey with her that makes this story come alive!

Very disappointed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this book with the other two in the series thinking they had just been published. I started reading the first book and thought it was very familiar. I had to give up as I knew I had read it already. I have now checked my kindle library and I bought this book in 2009 and it was then called Down Jasper Lane. This book was published recently under this name but of course Amazon could not alert me to having already purchased it as it is called something entirely different. I am very disappointed and will not purchase or read Kate Hewitt again.

Holiday Read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 18, 2022

Verified Purchase

Easy to read, interesting story and characters that are both believable and 3 dimensional, neither all good, nor all bad. No gratuitous swear words, violence or sex. Will read more by this writer.

Started well.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

Quite engaging to begin with, then about a third of the way through it started floundering.
Awful and repetitive, going backwards and forwards over the same things and thoughts going through the main character’s mind.
Then after all that floundering it died a very unremarkable death.

Wonderful story, out of heartbreak, loneliness, abandonment at a very young age, Ellen finds her way in the world and learns so very much. I just couldn't stop reading this beautiful story. Excellent reading.
