About this audiobook
Rowan Hill means many things to many people, but to Ellie Hesketh it represents new beginnings. Putting her life back together after a break-up is going to take time, but the crumbling country estate—as much in need of TLC as she is—seems the perfect place to do it.
But Ellie is not the only person for whom Rowan Hill is a refuge. There’s Will, damaged and complicated, whose secrets almost nobody knows. And Finn, his brother, who’s finally decided to stop running from his own past. As Ellie is drawn further into saving the estate, she can’t help but try saving the brothers too—and she’s sure she knows just how to go about it. The trouble is, she’s been accused of meddling before…
By turns heartwarming and heartbreaking, this story of friendship, forgiveness and unexpected romance reveals the lies we tell to hide dark secrets—and what can happen when we let in a little light.
Revised edition: This edition of Letting In Light includes editorial revisions.

Emma Davies once worked for a design studio, where she was asked to write an autobiographical note. "I am a bestselling novelist," she began, "currently masquerading as a thirty-something mother of three." That job didn't work out, but she's now a forty-something mother of three, and she's working on the rest. For years Emma was a finance manager who spent her days looking at numbers, so at night she would throw them away and play with words, practising putting them together into sentences. She now writes in all the gaps between real life. Visit her website, www.emmadaviesauthor.com, where, amongst other things, you can read about her passion for Pringles and singing loudly in the car.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A heartwarming read about relationships, secrets, guilt and forgiveness set in a picturesque village in the heart of England.It's mostly lighthearted and undemanding. However, there is a very serious element which isn't revealed until after halfway through and then it does get a little darker. The author has an effortless and relaxed style of writing which is easy to read. There are some wonderful and vivid descriptions. I really liked the characters - they all have their own issues and problems along with their individual foibles just as we all have. They seemed true to life and people who one would wish to know. They always seemed to be eating cake and the world is put to rights with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and a slice of lemon drizzle! Sounds good to me! There is a satisfying ending which is left on an optimistic and hopeful note.It's a lovely, engaging story which I very much enjoyed reading and one which I was I sorry to finish.Reviewed for Netgalley and the publishers.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Title: Letting In LightAuthor: Emma DaviesPublisher: Lake Union PublishingReviewed By: Arlena DeanRating: FourReview:"Letting In Light" by Emma DaviesMy Thoughts...This was quite a special good read that will give the readers a good look of 'friendship, love, with a community like [Rowan Hill] heartbreaking, to hope and even forgiveness.' The two main characters Ellie Hesketh and Will McKennan are very interesting, caring people however also fallible with each having their own baggage and even some dark secrets. Now, to add the rest of the secondary characters who were well drawn from [Ben, Helen, Finn, Gina, Alice, Prudence, Jane, Jack] to name a few that the reader will get a well told intriguing story that you will find it hard to put down till the end keeping you entertained. I don't want to leave out the beautiful description of Rowan Hill with its beautiful setting of the scenery that seems to comes alive as this author presents to the reader and I don't want to leave out the tea and lemon drizzle cake that was so important in this read! Now to put the icing o the cake how this author was able to present the 'secrets and revelations' that will come out from this read was very well done. That ending was quite a very interesting one that was very captivating definitely putting a closure to what all had gone on there in this village of Rowan Hill.Be ready for a story that you will find 'warm, genuine, entertaining, heartbreaking' and still such beautiful read that you will find it hard to put down this well written novel until the very end.
