Barbara Cornthwaite

When her mother's death plunges her into reduced circumstances, Verity Hollis must leave her life of ease and privilege in London and make her home in the small country village. Her dreams of marriage to a wealthy Christian man with status now seem impossible. Her little trials grow large in her eyes and in her heart until she learns to trust her Father in new ways. With the comfort of her Bible and the amusement of her favorite novels to bolster her spirits, Verity embarks on a life she couldn't have imagined a year ago. Is her faith sufficient to sustain her in her new circumstances? Are her dreams of love, marriage, and family gone? An awkward Baptist minister, an orphaned baby or two, and a village of new friends help her discover what she truly values and the plans the Lord has made for her life.
