Priscilla Alone

On a cold night in November 1865, Michel Llewellyn informs his only daughter, Priscilla, that she is betrothed to Josiah Pennyman, a man she has never met. Six months later, she boards the Emma, a merchant ship, to travel from Boston to the Pennyman ranch outside Corpus Christi, Texas. Denied the company of her lady s maid, Priscilla embarks on the journey alone. Faced with superstitious seamen, the treacherous coral reefs of the Florida Keys, and her own doubts, she resolves to honor her father s wishes. But, when Josiah Pennyman reveals his true nature, she hopes only to escape this man, and Texas, with her life.
