Our tale begins in a cupboard under the stairs where we find Frank, the leading lady of the story in hiding from someone she would rather not bump into at the moment. You see Frank has managed to get herself into a bit of trouble. People always told her she had a strange sense of humour but in her wildest dreams she never imagined it would get her into this much bother.

What began as an innocent jokey conversation in her local paper shop has turned into something far more sinister. At first Frank tries to convince herself that what’s happening is nothing more than a string of coincidences. As time goes on though and the body count starts to rise she has to finally face the fact that maybe she’s the cause of everything that’s happening.

Before long she finds herself getting deeper and deeper and she can’t seem to find a way to get herself out of this nightmare. She’s lying to the police and leaping out of her skin every time the doorbell rings. You see, Frank doesn’t want anyone asking too many awkward questions, and she has a good reason for that. As she says at the beginning of our story… “I never intended for anyone to die, I just wanted to pay my paper bill.”

Fans of Laura Frantz and Tamera Alexander will love this heartfelt tale of a courageous woman, a wounded hero, and a marriage of convenience set on the early American frontier.

Betrayed by her family and left penniless, Honor Penworthy faces a future as uncertain as the early Ohio frontier. Forced from her Maryland plantation, she leaves behind the enslaved people she longed to free and accepts a marriage of convenience arranged through her Quaker community — a union born of duty, not desire.

Her new husband, Samuel Cathwell, a deaf glass artisan scarred by loss, lives a solitary life — rejected by society because of his deafness. Yet when Honor enters his world, her compassion and quiet strength awaken feelings he thought long dead.

Together they journey to Cincinnati — a bustling river town and gateway to the western frontier — where survival demands courage, faith, and endurance. As Honor builds a new home amid hardship and hope, she becomes secretly involved in the abolition movement, risking everything — including her fragile bond with Samuel.

When truth and conviction collide, can a marriage of convenience become a love strong enough to endure the storms ahead?

A Life with Honor is a clean Christian historical romance of faith, redemption, and love forged on the nineteenth-century frontier — perfect for readers who believe in strong women, brave stories, and the healing power of grace.
