Synopsis
The Angel of the Penny Rose is a story about being careful what you ask for, even in the 1760s.
While her father is presenting her with suitors, Anna Caldwell develops an unlikely friendship with Edmund Ashton, a doctor headed to the New World. Finding herself increasingly smitten with the thought of the adventures waiting for him in the Americas, she convinces Edmund to marry her and bring her across the Atlantic. Escaping the social expectations for an apothecary’s daughter in eighteenth-century London becomes trivial when she finds East Florida to be a treacherous place where her husband is brutally murdered. Facing two impossible choices as a widow without means, she unwittingly marries Edmund’s killer, but when her new husband also meets an untimely death, she is accused of killing both husbands. But that is only the beginning of Anna’s journey…
