Persecution & Providence

A faith inspired, "Jane Austen-ish" mail order bride story...

1875, England

Miss Chelsea Careen Stanton, the perilous heiress of Cherrywood Manor and orphaned daughter of a country squire finds herself the ward of reckless relations who have placed her inheritance in jeopardy.

She has few alternatives. Marry Lord Thornbridge, a philandering rake of the worst kind, or take her chances as a mail-order bride to Braydon McLane, an Irish-American clergyman, without a Pemberley.

Will her ability to see life through rose-colored glasses and romantic Jane Austen novels help her rise to the challenge?

A fan of Austen herself, Lisa hopes readers will enjoy this novel from 'The Lydia Collection' about a hopelessly romantic Austen fan with courageous faith. Married to her husband for more than twenty-five years, Lisa genuinely believes in every good husband, there is a Darcy hero in there somewhere.
