Welcome
to my Library...make
yourself comfortable. This library offers a free download of my
book, So Rich A Crown. I published it in the year 2000
and while I enjoy writing, genealogy takes most of my time these
days.
Here is a peek at what the
book is about. Not everyone will enjoy historical fiction, so have
a look and if you like what you see, feel free to download a copy to
your desktop and read at your leisure. If it is not your cup of
tea, take a look at my other pages and just enjoy the sights!!!
Summary of
So
Rich A Crown
Three
young women from three
different parts of the world meet in Williamsburg, Virginia in the early
1700's and become best friends, eventually sharing their most precious
secrets with one another. Although they were young when they met, all
three had already lived adventures most women never experience in a
lifetime. In those adventures of life, each woman finds herself with the
burden of a secret that could cost her everything. Their lives, loves
and children could be gone in the whisper of a secret. After years of
devoted friendship, the women share their secrets with one another,
promising to be the guardian of each other's lives. Sarah shares her
secret first...she is an escaped criminal from an English prison ship.
Her crime...she stole a handful of the crown jewels from the King's
bedroom. Christina tells of being an escaped member of the family of
Peter the Great, Czar of all Russia. Abbey, the young widow of a
suicide victim, reveals that the father of her child is not the husband
of her youth but a man she has long loved. Although he is himself a
widower, years of rumors that Abbey killed his wife, and perhaps even
his own mother, leaves him unable to respond to any gesture of love she
makes towards him. Abbey knows, if he finds out that she has kept his
son away from him, for the boy's entire life, he might contemplate
killing her himself.
When
Sarah is threatened by
an outsider who knows who she is, she blackmails her best friends to
keep her own secret safe. They pay her off, but she is soon found
murdered. Abbey is arrested. Christina suddenly decides to go back to
Europe and Matthew Townsend is to be Abbey's attorney charged with the
responsibility of saving her life. As the story progresses, there are
times when Abbey wonders if Matthew is out to save her or to hang her.
She wonders if he knows her secret, and it appears that before Christina
left she shared everyone's secrets with Matthew, including Abbey's.
Abbey also suspects it's possible Christina's husband is the murderer.
The trial reveals more secrets about the three women that they had not
shared with one another and also reveals the secrets of yet another
family which leads to the true killer.
All
three women and their
secrets are fully explored in this novel, giving each character the
honor of center stage during lengthy portions of the novel. It is then
brought together in the form of an exciting trial, where secrets pop up
from the most unexpected places and persons. Enjoy!
