The Captain’s Woman
by Holly Bush
Blurb:
Meet the Thompsons of Locust Street, an unconventional family taking Philadelphia high
society by storm…
1870 ~ Muireall Thompson has taken her duties seriously since her parents died on the
family’s crossing from Scotland to America in 1854. As the eldest sibling, their death made
her responsible for her family and left little time for a life of her own. But now her brothers
and sisters are adults; even the youngest is nearly ready to face the world on his own. What
will she do when she is alone, other than care for an elderly aunt and volunteer at the Sisters
of Charity orphanage? Has the chance for a husband and children of her own passed her by?
Widower Anthony Marcus, formerly a captain in the Union Army, is a man scraping the
bottom of his dignity and hanging on to his honor by the barest thread. Reduced to doing odd
jobs to keep a roof over his dear daughter Ann’s head, he often leaves her with the Sisters of
Charity while he is out seeking steady work with a decent salary that will allow him to move
from their single-room living quarters.
After an initial meeting that finds Muireall and Anthony at odds, a tentative friendship forms
as they bond over their mutual affection for Ann. As friendship leads to passion, can a
wealthy spinster and a poor soldier overcome their differences in station to forge a future
together? Just as Muireall finds the courage to reach for her own happiness, Anthony’s past
rises up between them and an old enemy reemerges to bring the Thompson family down once
and for all. Will the divide between them be insurmountable, or can they put aside pride and
doubt for a love worth fighting for?
