Sinopse

Set amid the intellectual brilliance and political upheaval of Renaissance Florence, Romola is one of George Eliot's most ambitious and richly detailed historical novels. Combining meticulous historical research with profound psychological insight, the book transports readers to a world shaped by art, philosophy, faith, and power.

At the center of the story is a young woman of intelligence and integrity whose life becomes entwined with the ambitions, ideals, and moral struggles of those around her. As political conflict and personal betrayal challenge her beliefs and loyalties, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, courage, and moral growth.

George Eliot masterfully explores themes of duty, conscience, love, sacrifice, and the search for meaning in uncertain times. Through unforgettable characters and vivid settings, she captures both the grandeur of Renaissance society and the deeply personal choices that shape individual lives.

Rich in historical atmosphere and philosophical reflection, the novel offers readers an immersive portrait of one of history's most remarkable periods while examining timeless questions about responsibility, identity, and human nature.

Perfect for readers who enjoy literary fiction, historical epics, and character-driven narratives, Romola stands as one of George Eliot's greatest achievements and a remarkable fusion of history and storytelling that continues to captivate modern audiences.

    A young suffragist on the run finds more than refuge in the hills and hollers of Tennessee in this gripping historical romance from USA Today bestselling author Tamera Alexander.
    1905. Josephine Dunham is running for her life. After a women's suffrage rally in Atlanta turns deadly, she buys a one-way ticket on the first train out and lands in rural Tennessee. There, Dodge Coburn—a rough-edged stranger with undeniable appeal—begrudgingly offers her a ride to Lynchburg, a speck of a town where Josephine hopes to disappear.
    Battered and desperate, Josephine has little to say when Dodge delivers her to Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House. Hoping to work in exchange for room and board, she soon discovers the only job matching her skills is at Jack Daniel's Distillery, an irony not lost on a suffragist committed to prohibition.
    Dodge is skeptical of Josephine's claim that she's on the run from an abusive husband. But between running Jack Daniel's cattle farm and raising his young niece, he has little time or inclination to press her . . . at first. But when Josephine's convictions and compassion draw him in, Dodge begins to reconsider the life he's chasing, while Josephine must face a world far more complicated than the principles she's held to.
    As Jack Daniel's Distillery gains national recognition, Josephine's secrets resurface. In a place where whiskey making takes time but justice is too often hurried, Dodge and Josephine must decide what—and who—they are willing to risk everything for, and whether faith will hold when the cost is high and time is running out.
    
    - Standalone Southern historical fiction, set against the history of women's rights, Jack Daniel's Distillery, and Miss Mary's Bobo's Boarding House in Lynchburg, Tennessee
    - A clean enemies-to-lovers, opposites-attract romance perfect for fans of Francine Rivers, Julie Klassen, and Lynn Austin
    - Includes discussion questions for book clubs

    She believes her dreams have been buried until one is rekindled--but the other threatens to cost her everything she loves. 
     
    Kallie Mae Bertram has harbored two dreams since childhood: to learn to read and to one day marry Quinn Spencer. But her first dream slipped away after her little sister died of a fever and her mother passed in childbirth. Kallie promised to care for the baby and her younger brother, which meant putting aside her own desires in order to keep her family together. But then a Moonlight School for adults offers Kallie hope of finally fulfilling that goal.  
     
    After Kallie's father forbids her from seeing Quinn, her second dream seems impossible. That is, until her frantic search for her missing sister leads to an unexpected encounter with Quinn in the woods--their first meeting in six years. The love they shared as children burns stronger than ever, awakening hopes Kallie thought were forever buried. But with their families locked in a bitter feud, following her heart could cost Kallie everything she's worked to protect.  
     
    Bestselling author Ann H. Gabhart delivers a sweeping Southern historical romance where forbidden love, family feuds, and second chances collide in the early twentieth century Appalachian Mountains.
