About the Book

This is the delightfully entertaining story of an impoverished vicar's daughter. Born the youngest of four daughters and one son-Miss Catherine Edwina Lyndon finds she has no other choice than to accept hand-me-down dresses and one delayed, broken dream after another; all whilst her parents make every possible effort to attract husbands for her three older sisters. They spend every extra shilling with this in mind. Her three sisters are now "out" in fashionable society, but Vicar Lyndon is old-fashioned and won't permit Catherine the same opportunities until at least one or two of her sisters are wed. Catherine has grown so accustomed to being overlooked, she doesn't realize her hopes lay on a pile of wasted dreams when she sacrifices the desire for a marriage and family of her own. She is barely holding onto the idea of championing the cause of education reform for women across England after being denied a bold request for entry to a leading university. Aggravated by a contentious new sister-in-law, she escapes the confines of a sheltered life at home in the countryside of Essex by journeying to Northampton. There, she accepts the position of companion to the daughters of an aristocratic family. Amidst a household full of silly young ladies visiting the daughters of the peerage recently out of mourning, many sent for the holiday by their mothers, with their eyes on the handsome older brother now in possession of the Duke's title, will mercy look down and make a miracle for her this year at Christmas? If so, what situations and who will be the catalysts and antagonists mercy chooses to use? This novel includes a Regency Era Glossary and illustrations, shines a brief spotlight on William Law (Church of England priest, writer, and theologian who inspired the evangelical Wesley brothers), Charles Wesley (a leading voice in the founding of the Methodist church and writer of thousands of hymns), and Richard Baxter (Puritan leader, theologian, and writer of the 1600's).
About the Author: Lisa M. Prysock lives in the countryside of beautiful, rolling Kentucky just outside of the greater Louisville area near horse farms and four board fences with her husband of 19 years. She homeschools the two youngest of their five children (three grown). She and her husband live in an average, two story, Colonial style home they are continually updating-- with a funny looking Heinz 57 dog; an adorably dainty lady cat; two teenagers; a vegetable garden; numerous flower beds; and a tree house undergoing a remodel. When not in teaching or writing mode, she is teaching herself to play the piano and violin. In regards to that, she laughs: "It's a pretty painful process, but I'm truly enjoying it!" Lisa loves all things old-fashioned and has adopted a slogan of "The Old-Fashioned Everything Girl." A few of her interests and passions include doll houses, long dresses and hats, gardening, reading the Classics, butterflies, swimming, walking, working out, cooking, sewing, crochet, cross stitching, arts and crafts, scrapbooking, decorating, and drawing. Recently, her husband remodeled a room in their home with a picture window overlooking a valley which contains a creek and wooded area, transforming the space into a serene and sublime writing office/sewing room. "It's a great source of peace and inspiration for me... and pure joy not to be writing from the busy kitchen amidst the household chaos on a laptop. Growing teenagers eating every five minutes makes for a constant stream of happenings!" Lisa is an Amazon bestselling author of "To Find a Duchess," an Inspirational Regency Romance; a Victorian Christian Romance Series which includes "Hannah's Garden: a Turn of the Century Love Story" and "Abigail's Melody;" and 'The Lydia Collection, ' which includes "The Redemption of Lady Georgiana" (a Ruth love story of modern day Regency proportions), "Protecting Miss Jenna" (an Antebellum Era Christian Romance Adventure), and "Persecution & Providence" (a 'Jane Austen-ish' mail order bride story from the Pioneer Era). She is also the author of a devotional/Bible Study, "Arise Princess Warrior." Lisa writes clean and wholesome literature that shares her faith in Jesus Christ. She is a member of ACFW and Louisville Christian Writers. You can find out more about Lisa at: www.LisaPrysock.com
