Winds of Change: Book 5 in the Belleville Family Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780645863758)

Winds of Change is book 5 in the Belleville Family Series. It begins in 1976. The Belleville siblings - Richard, William and Julia - remain centre stage but the Belleville family is expanding, with both Paul and Marianne now married.

A new generation is now in its infancy but even as new arrivals are celebrated, a child's future hangs in the balance and marriages begin to crack. Until finally, no one can ignore the truth as a shocking deception is revealed.

Against this backdrop, Julia Belleville begins to feature more prominently in life at Prior Park, following her divorce from her American husband Dr Philippe Duval. Read all about this in First Born Son and Price to Pay, a spin off series.

Desperate to find a new purpose in life, she is determined to see a phoenix rise from the ashes at Prior Park. Nearly twenty years on from the destruction of her beloved home, Julia believes a new house will help the family move on from the tragic aftermath of the fire that destroyed Prior Park's grand mansion. She commissions Richard's architect son Anthony to bring her dream to life.

But will building a replica of the old house be the answer? Not everyone is convinced. Her brother William privately questions her plans, describing her ambitions as 'Julia's folly'. Her brother Richard, however, is in favour of the plan, knowing she needs the project to raise her spirits.

But before a new house can rise from the ashes, the old house must relinquish its shocking secrets. For the very first time, the Belleville family learn the truth of their origins, from Louis Belleville's own hand. His stunning revelations bear witness to his single-minded pursuit of financial security. He was determined to lay the foundations for the future success of the generations of the Belleville family to come.

In a turbulent year, loyalties are tested as never before but the Belleville family is resilient. It is Alice, William's wife, whose good sense and capacity for forgiveness lay the groundwork for future harmony.
