Back in
November when it first came out I spotlighted this book as a new release. Now I’m
sharing it with you once again because it is the debut work from January’s
Featured Author of the Month, Kelly Lyman.
The Petticoat Letters is a historical romance set during
the American Revolution. It’s main character Nora Bishop is a 20-year old,
unmarried woman in a time when women were considered far less capable then men.
What they could do and what they could handle, while fierce at home, was
assumed to be simply less than what men could do and what men could handle. It
is my belief, after having only read a small bit of this book so far, that Miss
Nora Bishop is going to prove that belief to be entirely false.
Will she?
Won’t she?...
The Petticoat Letters
by Kelly
Lyman
At the
outbreak of the Revolutionary war, Nora Bishop’s home is burned to the ground –
along with her dreams, plans and all her family members except one. At
20-years-old and still unmarried, she moves to Manhattan to live with her
Loyalist uncle, hoping to find her brother who has joined the Patriot cause
against her late family’s wishes.
But, battle
breaks out and she finds herself at the mercy of one American ranger, Alex
Foster, who is the only person in a position to bring her to safety. Her
growing feelings toward Alex and his passion for freedom help her re-evaluate
her stance on the case for independence and makes her question her loyalties
further.
When she is
asked to spy for the rebels, she agrees.
But can she
partake in the act of treason and do what is asked of her when the sadistic
Captain William Roth seems to watch her every move and threatens the life of
her brother who has been captured?
And how can
she grow closer to Alex when the war threatens to tear them apart?
