Publisher's Description

Travel back to the glory days of New Jersey where three women are having conflicts with wealth and status when attractive men enter their lives. Meg is being forced into marriage for riches when her heart longs for a simple artisan. Susan is powerless to use her fortune on the poor or to protect it from her future husband. Marigold is forced to work as a lowly nursemaid for orphans awaiting their uncle before receiving her birthright. Will God lead these women to loves that are even greater in value than money?

Author Bio

Award-winning author LAURIE ALICE EAKES has always loved books. When she ran out of available stories to entertain and encourage her, she began creating her own tales of love and adventure. In 2006 she celebrated the publication of her first hardcover novel. Much to her astonishment and delight, it won the National Readers Choice Award. Besides writing, she teaches classes to other writers, mainly on research, something she enjoys nearly as much as creating characters and their exploits. A graduate of Asbury College and Seton Hill University, she lives in Texas with her husband and sundry animals.

Editorial Reviews

I found the book to be very inspirational. Also - the author does a wonderful job researching the time period and demonstrating the experiences of women in that culture.

Jersey Brides 4.5 5 2 2

Loaded with intrigue, suspence and love This three part love story is a constant reminder of the power of God's love. It also clearly outlines the difference between what can happen in our own lives when we put our trust in HIM and how we trip and stumble while trying to do things our own way. It took me a few days longer to read this book because there were so many underlying messages about God and how HE works in our everyday life and I wanted to process each of them and determine what HE has been doing in my own life recently.
