Can a young woman living during the California Gold Rush find deliverance from her mother’s abusive control and freedom to follow her heart?
Within the pages of Runaway Romance ($16.99, paperback, 9781545619339; $8.99, e-book, 9781545622032), readers will follow the story of 18-year-old Abigail Marie Clothier, who refuses to get married.
Her passionate desire to teach children in a mining community, nestled in the hills of northern California during the California Gold Rush, empowers her to defeat formidable circumstances. But Abby’s mother threatens to disown her if she refuses to marry Senator Thomas Wyndham of Buffalo, New York.
“This novel transports the reader to a different time and place, and gives one an opportunity to enjoy a lighthearted romance with fast-paced action on the backdrop of difficult circumstances,” Janie Rittenhouse says. “I’d like for readers to understand how a deep, practical faith in God enables a person to overcome difficulties and find fulfillment for one’s life dreams.”
However, is Abby’s faith strong enough to conquer the fear that keeps her chained in emotional bondage and take bold steps to reclaim her life and independence?
“On her journey toward healing, she faces dangers inherent in traveling West by wagon train,” the author states. “She overcomes severe illness, Indian raids, near starvation, kidnapping, and the death of loved ones. Meeting the challenges of these hardships allows her to embrace both a satisfying career and the love of the man of her dreams.”
