In the first of a brand-new series set in Victorian England, a
young woman returns home from India after the death of her family
to discover her identity and inheritance are challenged by the man
who holds her future in his hands. Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of
missionaries, spent most of her life in India. Following the death
of her family in the Indian Mutiny, Rebecca returns to claim her
family estate in Hampshire, England. Upon her return, people are
surprised to see her...and highly suspicious. Less than a year
earlier, an imposter had arrived with an Indian servant and assumed
not only Rebecca's name, but her home and incomes. That pretender
died within months of her arrival; the servant fled to London as
the young woman was hastily buried at midnight. The locals believe
that perhaps she, Rebecca, is the real imposter. Her home and her
father's investments reverted to a distant relative, the darkly
charming Captain Luke Whitfield, who quickly took over. Against her
best intentions, Rebecca begins to fall in love with Luke, but she
is forced to question his motives--does he love her or does he just
want Headbourne House? If Luke is simply after the property, as
everyone suspects, will she suffer a similar fate as the first
"Rebecca"? A captivating Gothic love story set against a backdrop
of intrigue and danger, Mist of Midnight will leave you breathless.
This One Year book is a diary-style devotional for tween girls (9
to 14) that emphasizes their growing, special relationship with
God. Each devotion begins with a statement, thought, or question to
God. Every girl is likely to make these statements and ask such
questions . . . many of which they may not want to share with other
people.The book emphasizes that tween girls can have a relationship
with God and that they can share their intimate thoughts, fears,
insecurities, joys, etc. It lets girls know: it's between you and
God. Questions/topics include the following: "I know I'm supposed
to be close to you (God), but I don't really feel like it now. How
can I change that?" "Everyone talks about how I'm supposed to have
faith, which is fine, except I don't really understand what faith
actually is." Each devotion gives biblically based insight into the
subject.
