Angel of the Penny Rose

Who do you turn to when the only person you can trust is yourself?

Linda Saether's beautifully crafted novel, The Angel of the Penny Rose, takes you on the unexpected journey of a young woman daring to create her own destiny.
While her father is presenting her with suitors, Anna Caldwell, develops an unlikely friendship with Edmund Ashton, a doctor headed to the New World. Finding herself increasingly smitten with the thought of the adventures waiting for him in the Americas, she convinces Ashton to marry her and bring her across the Atlantic. Escaping the social expectations for an apothecary's daughter in eighteenth-century London becomes trivial when she finds a treacherous world where secrets can be deadly and her new husband is brutally murdered. Facing two impossible choices as a widow without means, she unwittingly marries Edmund's killer, but when her new husband also meets an untimely death, she is accused of killing both husbands.

Can she find justice when the only proof of her innocence is gone?
