Jenifer’s Prayer

In a Hull inn, a young woman weeps so fiercely that only a tender sadness touches her beautiful face. The man who has frightened her slips out into the night, fists clenched against the memories surging through him.

In the days of long coach journeys, Mary Morier and a Scottish gentleman travel south to a great country house, where he fears the influence of the people they will meet. He is both her companion and the man entrusted with her safe passage—and, the night before, he has asked her to marry him. Her hurt and his self-reproach lead back to the family’s history in the quiet town of Marston: a widowed mother, an ailing son, devoted Jenifer, and a household pressed hard by poverty. What awaits Mary at Beremouth, and what buried history has made this journey so fraught?
