She’s not of his class, not of his religion, and not in his plans . . . will she fill his future as she fills his dreams?
The year is 1783. Passengers swarm the bustling Bristol quay, anxiously awaiting the call to board. David Graham, a Scot indentured for the next six years to a Philadelphia printer, waits among them, as does Elisabeth Hale, a young Englishwoman making the passage with her father, and Liam Brock, an orphaned Scot with a dubious past.
Disparate characters all, the three establish an unwavering bond of friendship, love, and loyalty–until Elisabeth is forced to make a choice–a choice that will shatter their lives.
A refreshingly original saga set in late eighteenth-century Philadelphia, Voices Beckon spans seven years in the lives of David, Elisabeth, and Liam, three young Britons who cross the Atlantic in search of a new beginning. Rich in historical detail, this sweeping romance chronicles their coming of age against the vivid backdrop of the developing United States of America.

About
Book Reviews
"The arranged -- and forbidden -- encounters David and Elisabeth share are set against an America that is still creating its own identity. The descriptions of the sea voyage and the Philadelphia political scene are utterly compelling and the relationship between Elisabeth and David guides the narrative . . . David and Elisabeth's story is both compelling and romantic enough to keep readers engaged. More likely to appeal to readers of books like Lucinda Riley's The Orchid House, than browsers of the romance shelves."
