2018-03-29
Can a young woman living during the California Gold Rush find
deliverance from her mother’s abusive control and freedom to follow her heart?
Within the pages of Runaway Romance ($16.99, paperback, 9781545619339;
$8.99, e-book, 9781545622032), readers will follow
the story of 18-year-old Abigail Marie Clothier, who refuses to get married.
Her passionate desire to teach children in a mining
community nestled in the hills of northern California during the California
Gold Rush empowers her to defeat formidable circumstances. But Abby’s mother
threatens to disown her if she refuses to marry Senator Thomas Wyndham of
Buffalo, New York.
“This novel transports the reader to a different time and
place, and gives one an opportunity to enjoy a lighthearted romance with
fast-paced action on the backdrop of difficult circumstances,” Janie
Rittenhouse says “I’d like for readers to understand how a deep, practical
faith in God enables a person to overcome difficulties and find fulfillment for
one’s life dreams.”
However, is Abby’s faith strong enough to conquer the fear that
keeps her chained in emotional bondage and take bold steps to reclaim her life
and independence?
“On her journey toward healing, she faces dangers inherent
in traveling West by wagon train,” the author states. “She overcomes severe
illness, Indian raids, near starvation, kidnapping, and the death of loved
ones. Meeting the challenges of these hardships allows her to embrace both a
satisfying career and the love of the man of her dreams.”
Janie Rittenhouse was a missionary in two countries, working
in the English mail department for Trans World Radio, where she answered
letters from listeners. She earned a master's degree in music at Western
Michigan University, and taught music in public and private schools in
Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Mexico.
