The Heart of the Family: Book Three of The Eliot Chronicles by Elizabeth Goudge

The most vital and successful of the Eliots, David is the natural head of the family. But the memory of a former love affair casts a shadow over his happiness, and it takes the peace and tranquility of Damerosehay, the enchanting Hampshire estate that is the Eliots' family home, to bring David to terms with his past and enable him to embrace the future with joy.
