Where Hope Abides

When her social-conscious mother forces Hope into an engagement with a cruel, but titled peer, Hope desguises herself as a lad and flees the only home she's ever known. On top of losing her father, her mother's manipulations makes Hope wonder if God even cares.

Her flight to London is interrupted by unexpected detours, the worst of which brings her to the point of giving up. Her sodden, unconsious body is discovered, and she wakes up in the home of the Marquess of Aven.

Though she fears to reveal her true identity, Hope comes to deeply care for the Glynis family who treat her like one of their own. She also begins to lose her heart to their cousin David. But her erstwhile fiancé is not about to let her go. When he shows up, Hope flees again. Will Hope stop running long enough to listen to the still small voice within and trust Gods knows best-or will her tendency to run away destroy a future of faith and love.
