When unexpected circumstances leave Honor Penworthy
destitute after the death of her grandfather, she is
forced
to leave her Maryland plantation—and the slaves she hoped
to
free—and seek refuge with a distant relative. With no
marketable skills, her survival hinges on a marriage
arranged through the Quaker community to local glass
artisan
Samuel Cathwell. Samuel is drawn to Honor, but he has
been
unwilling to open his heart to anyone since scarlet fever
took his hearing as a child. A move west brings the promise of a fresh start, but
nothing
in Honor’s genteel upbringing has prepared her for the
rigors of frontier life with Samuel. Nevertheless, her
tenacity and passion sweep her into important winds of
change, and she becomes increasingly—though
secretly—involved in the Underground Railroad. Samuel
suspects Honor is hiding something, but will uncovering
the
truth confirm his worst fears or truly bring them
together
as man and wife? Set against the backdrop of dramatic and pivotal moments
in
American history, the Quaker Brides series chronicles the
lives of three brave heroines, fighting to uphold their
principles of freedom while navigating the terrain of
faith,
family, and the heart.
