Across
the Blue
Isabella
Grayson wishes when she grew up she could write articles for her Fathers
newspapers. Although back in that time
it wasn’t a suitable endeavor for a woman.
She had to go to parties, be presented to the Queen and find a beau and
get married. Particularly one with
money!
James Grant
grew up his entire life with no idea who his parents were. Although he was taken in by a professor, who
also helps him build one of the first airplanes which he feels is his life
dream to fly…..he always wanted to know who his parents were and why he was
given up for adoption.
Isabella and
James meet and fall in love, they over come many obstacles, her Mother doesn’t
believe James is a proper suitor he doesn’t have money!
This being an
inspirational type of book, they do a lot of praying and they learn many
lessons along the way, which if I shared them with you it would give away the
outcome.
Isabella’s
Father and newspaper puts up a bunch of money and a promise of fame for any
pilot who can cross the English Channel first.
Isabella agrees if her Father will let her write articles for the
newspaper on the pilots getting prepared to cross the channel, that she will
take seriously any offers for her hand in marriage.
Read the book,
it’s a good one I promise! I gave it
five stars.
Here is the
description as found on Good Reads: Set in Edwardian England and ideal for
readers who enjoy Julie Klassen novels, this romance about an English aviation
pioneer and the girl who falls in love with him is filled with adventure and
faith.
Isabella Grayson, the eldest
daughter of a wealthy, English newspaper magnate, longs to become a journalist,
but her parents don't approve. They want her to marry well and help them gain a
higher standing in society. After she writes an anonymous letter to the editor
that impresses her father, her parents reluctantly agree she can write a series
of articles about aviation and the race to fly across the English Channel, but
only if she promises to accept a marriage proposal within the year. When James
Grant, an aspiring aviator, crashes his flying machine at the Grayson's new
estate, Bella is intrigued. James is determined to be the first to fly across
the Channel and win the prize Mr. Grayson's newspaper is offering. He hopes it
will help him secure a government contract to build airplanes and redeem a
terrible family secret. James wants to win Bella's heart, but his background
and lack of social standing make it unlikely her parents would approve. If he
fails to achieve his dream, how will he win the love and respect he is seeking?
Will Bella's faith and support help him find the strength and courage he needs
when unexpected events turn their world upside down?
