Book Description
Second-chance family Their Frontier Family No one is more surprised than Sunny Licht when Noah Whitmore proposes. She’s an unwed mother—an outcast in her small Quaker community. But she can’t resist the Union soldier’s offer of a fresh start. Noah is determined that Sunny and her baby want for nothing…except the love that war burned out of him. Yet Sunny makes him hope once more for the family he never thought he’d find. The Baby Bequest Getting married is the only way for Sophie Tanner to protect her younger brother and keep her family’s Smoky Mountain farm. She’d like Nathan O’Malley to be the groom, but he can’t seem to get past their friendship…or their differences. Nathan always thought he’d fall in love with someone like himself—sensible and levelheaded. Sophie is his polar opposite. So why can’t he picture anyone else at his side? The moment schoolteacher Ellen Thurston discovers a baby boy outside her door, it’s love at first sight. While the townsfolk don’t approve of Ellen as a single mother, what worries her most are her feelings for Kurt Lang, the handsome farmer who defends her. Kurt knows how hard it is to raise a child alone, and he’ll do whatever it takes to help make Ellen’s dream of a family come true. USA TODAY Bestselling Author

American Quaker Romances
Author: Carolina Fernández Rodríguez
Publisher: Universitat de València
ISBN: 8491349103
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Quaker characters have peopled many an American literary work—most notably, "Uncle Tom’s Cabin"—as Quakerism has been historically associated with progressive attitudes and the advancement of social justice. With the rise in recent years of the Christian romance market, dominated by American Evangelical companies, there has been a renewed interest in fictional Quakers. In the historical Quaker romances analyzed in this book, Quaker heroines often devote time to spiritual considerations, advocate the sanctity of marriage and promote traditional family values. However, their concern with social justice also leads them to engage in subversive behavior and to question the status quo, as illustrated by heroines who are active on the Underground Railroad or are seen organizing the Seneca Falls convention. Though relatively liberal in terms of gender, Quaker romances are considerably less progressive when it comes to race relations. Thus, they reflect America’s conflicted relationship with its history of race and gender abuse, and the country’s tendency to both resist and advocate social change. Ultimately, Quaker romances reinforce the myth of America as a White and Christian nation, here embodied by the Quaker heroine, the all-powerful savior who rescues Native Americans, African Americans and Jews while conquering the hero’s heart.

Conflict and Colonialism in 21st Century Romantic Historical Fiction
Author: Hsu-Ming Teo
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040085415
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
This book explores how postmillennial Anglophone women writers use romantic narrativisations of history to explore, revise, repurpose and challenge the past in their novels, exposing the extent to which past societies were damaging to women by instead imagining alternative histories. The novelists discussed employ the generic conventions of romance to narrate their understanding of historical and contemporary injustice and to reflect upon women’s achievements and the price they paid for autonomy and a life of public purpose. The volume seeks, firstly, to discuss the work of revision or reparation being performed by romantic historical fiction and, secondly, to analyse how the past is being repurposed for use in the present. It contends that the discourses and genre of romance work to provide a reparative reading of the past, but there are limitations and entrenched problems in such readings.
