Just like jumping out of a plane without a parachute while holding a one-year-old baby in her arms, Janet and her husband, Ted, leap from the stability of family, friends, and financial security into the uncertainty of fulfilling their dream of owning and operating a floral business. Going against the norms of 1976, believing a woman’s place is in the home, she spends sleepless nights wrestling with how she can balance motherhood with the demands of working outside the home.
With no knowledge or experience operating a business or selling fresh flowers, can they safely land on their feet? The shop owners, Nellie and Jack, whom they’d just met, assure Ted and Janet the flower business is healthy, and they will help them learn how to run the operation. But can they be trusted? Janet and Ted face the monumental task together to nurture their baby daughter and their new business.
Follow their inspiring story, filled with the joy and triumphs and the obstacles and failures experienced by these blossoming entrepreneurs as they travel along the turbulent path of turning dreams into reality.
With the threat of scandal
hanging over Lady Leah Harrington, her parents arrange a temporary position for
her in Australia as a companion to her aunt. Leah vows that on her return to
England, she will forge her own future as a published lady of letters. However,
now that she’s learned men are not to be trusted, having her sensibilities
muddled by a dashing navy captain is not what she had planned for herself.
Despite France’s ever-present
menace during the Napoleonic Wars, Captain Heath Trevelyan is ordered to transport
a load of convicts aboard HMS Charlotte Mary destined for the penal
colony of Australia. As a favour to a friend, he also provides passage for an
alluring young woman and her aunt. When his ship sinks during a storm, a battle
of endurance ensues for Heath and the survivors, including several convicts and
the beauty who has captured his senses.
Which will he obey? His
orders or his heart?
