Produktbeschreibung

It is the late 19th century, an era when opportunities for a better life beckoned from across the Atlantic. In the heart of London, a young woman named Anna Watson finds herself trapped in a cycle of poverty and despair. With her meager earnings barely enough to keep a roof over her head, she yearns for a chance to start anew, to escape the confines of her dreary existence.

As she gazed out of the frost-covered window, watching the snowflakes gently dance in the wintry air, a feeling of longing stirred within her. The thought of experiencing Christmas in all its glory tugged at her heartstrings. She had never had the chance to revel in the simple joys of the season, with its twinkling lights, warm hearths, and joyful laughter.

With a determined gleam in her eye, Anna made up her mind. She would seek out a new beginning, a fresh start that held the promise of brighter days ahead. And so, she found herself poring over an advertisement in the local papera call for courageous young women willing to embark on a journey across the ocean to find love and adventure in the American West.

Taking a deep breath, Anna picked up her quill and parchment, her hand trembling slightly with anticipation. With each stroke of her pen, she poured her hopes and dreams onto the page, crafting a letter that would soon set her

As Christmas approached, the streets of London were filled with festive decorations and bustling crowds. For Anna, it was a time of year that she had always longed to experience but never had the chance to.

Growing up in poverty, Christmas was just another day for Anna and her family. They couldn't afford decorations or lavish gifts, let alone a hearty feast. Instead, they would try to make the best of what little they had, often going without food so they could save up for rent. Their most common food was bread and lard.

I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
