A Life from the Ashes - Jann Rowland - Bog

A sequel to Jann Rowland's beloved first novel Acting on Faith, A Life from the Ashes chronicles Lydia's journey toward self-discovery, knowledge, and a future she never knew she wanted. Having achieved her fondest wish, Lydia Wickham leaves Longbourn in the company of her handsome husband for Newcastle, certain she is embarking on a grand adventure. But not all is as it seems. Unbeknownst to Lydia, the man she thinks she has married does not exist, as he is merely a mask for a callous libertine who cares nothing for others and considers himself chained to a woman he never wished to marry. Slowly, Lydia learns the true measure of her husband and realizes that she was hasty in insisting on marrying him. It is only through the patient tutelage of her commanding officer's wife that she comes to understand there is more to life than frivolous pursuits and men wearing red coats. Unfortunately for Lydia, it might be too late, for she has cast her lot with a man so reprehensible that none know of what he is capable.
