The Girl from Penthorpe Hill is a compassionate and inspirational story of a young woman coming of age. Jasmine returns to the hauntingly compelling Penthorpe Hill, her family home in the beautiful English countryside, where her heart is and where life changed forever after her popular father suddenly died, leaving young Jasmine to care for her baby brother Matthew, and mentally unstable mother. Jasmine and Matthew have many memorable adventures as they grow up and the family lurches from one disaster to another, coping with their loss and stuggling with mental illness. It is a story of love, friendship, loyalty and the kindness of others, as Jasmine and Matthew are separated several times. On her road to success, Jasmine eventually comes to terms with her early life after going back to Penthorpe Hill, thirty-six years later, and reuniting with her father’s best friend. It is an emotional and enlightening journey as Jasmine searches to find the peace and happiness her heart has yearned for.
