A Life of Blessing
by Lyn Cote
"Rich and rewarding! Blessing will captivate you from beginning to end. A unique and compelling plot and well-drawn characters will bring you back in history to Cincinnati, Ohio, where women's rights were nonexistent and racial tension permeated the city. I couldn't put this book down until I learned their fate. A must read!"
After being wooed by a wealthy and socially prominent member of Cincinnati society, Blessing Cathwell leaves her family and beliefs behind to marry him. Widowed young and determined to never to be weak again again, Blessing reclaims her faith and sets out to use her wealth and influence for women's rights and abolition.
Gerard Ramsey, scion of a wealthy Boston family, comes to Cincinnati to escape his father's schemes to arrange an advantageous marriage for his heir. Moreover, Gerard wants to break with his father---in a way that will anger him---while providing Gerard with independence. His planning is soon complicated by Blessing and her tendency for speaking to him as his equal and challenging him to consider the lives of others over his own.
As pre-Civil War racial tensions rise in Cincinnati, Blessing and Gerard struggle to find common ground as violence escalates. And a secret adversary to both tries to reach a vengeful and lethal end game.
