New Historical Series:
Three Women of Courage
Book 1: A Life with Honor:
The “Three Women of Courage” series chronicles the lives of a mother and her two daughters. Each, in turn, becomes involved in the dramatic and pivotal movements in 19th century America: abolition, women’s rights, and the Civil War. And each one meets her match—a brave man who can’t resist the pull to a fearless woman, All three by Lyn Cote, a Carol award-winning author of fifty novels.
Book 1: A Life with Honor: After the death of her grandfather, Honor Penworthy finds herself unexpectedly destitute. She is forced to leave her Maryland plantation?and the slaves she vowed 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. They marry out of mutual necessity. Samuel is drawn to Honor but since scarlet fever took his hearing as a child, he has been unwilling to open his heart to anyone.
Their 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, still haunted by leaving behind her enslaved people, she begins her search for others who want to end slavery. Soon she becomes increasingly?though secretly?involved in the infant movement for abolition. Samuel suspects Honor is hiding something, but will uncovering the truth about her work for freedom drive them farther apart or unite them at last?
