Bound by Grace

By Amber Stockton

Description:

A letter from a gentleman in Ashbourne Hills piques the interest of Brandywine book shop owner, Charlotte Pringle. The desire to provide his niece, Grace, with more classic titles keeps Richard Baxton returning to see Charlotte again and again. When Charlotte learns of the tragic accident that left Grace wheelchair bound, waiting an expensive operation, she is even more drawn to this impromptu family. But Charlotte’s father disrupts their idyllic relationship by announcing he’s been working on a marriage arrangement to secure her future. Before Richard can make a viable offer for her hand, a family business emergency forces him to journey to both New York and Boston. Feeling abandoned, Charlotte believes she has no choice but to accept her father’s plans. Richard despairs over the loss of the woman he’s come to love. It’s his niece who persuades him to fight.

Book Takeaway:

Although tempting to laud your good deeds or successes to others, humility and grace are the better path to take.

Why the author wrote this book:

I had a lot of readers write to me about my very first series, asking if I was going to continue the family's story. So, I developed this new series, returning to the region of northern Delaware, 100 years further into the future.
