in ebook format for the first time –
A sweeping
saga that spans three generations, Woman’s Own is the story of four Armstrong
women – Emily, her two daughters, and her estranged mother- who are seemingly
cursed when it comes to love. In a time
before women’s rights, the Armstrong women challenge expectations and carve out
a life of independence and freedom on their own terms.
Ablaze against the bustle of nineteenth-century
Philadelphia is this sweeping saga of three generations of strong, indomitable
women – all seemingly cursed when it comes to love. At its center is
young Lilly Armstrong, a beauty on the brink of womanhood, too brave and too
fearless to settle for the status quo. In a booming city animated by
inventors, builders and artists, and now excited for the great Centennial
Exhibition, Lilly aspires to carve out a life of independent freedom for
herself and her women kin – lives not dependent on men.
But of course there is a man – a man who admires Lilly, who thinks like she does and who would move heaven and earth to help Lilly realize her dreams.
With the guidance of her quietly resilient mother and the unexpected aid of her estranged and powerful grandmother – and despite the foolish meddling of her shallow and ambitious sister – Lilly is determined to lead her family of women into the challenge of the next century on her own terms, forging an empire that will survive for generations.
Lilly intends for her family to have it all, not the least of which is enduring love.
Fans of VIRGIN RIVER will enjoy this timeless novel of new beginnings, untamable passion and all-redeeming love.
