In a moment of distress, with no one to help, Penny writes a letter to the editor of an Edwardian magazine for girls and young ladies. When she receives a reply, there begins a friendship which spans the generations as Ernestine reaches out to a friend she will never meet.

Two women with very different lifestyles find they have more in common than either might have guessed, changing both their lives for the better.

Letters from an Edwardian Lady is the first book in the historical fiction series, Hands Across Time. Telling the story of Ernestine, her family and her friends, the series begins in 1905 and journeys through to the twenty-first century.
