[Coming to America 01] • Dear Lady

Dear Mary,

New Prospects, Montana, is nothing like England—so terrifying and beautiful at

the same time, and much larger than I dared imagine when you and I first

embarked on our adventures in the New World. I have had the good fortune of

becoming the town’s schoolmistress. Young Janie Steele is as precious as I

imagined from her letters. As for her father, Garret Steele... Oh, I feel like

such a fool! I’ve run halfway around the world to escape a man I loathed, only

to discover I’m losing my heart to a man still in love with the wife he

buried. The mayor, kind man, has been most attentive. But I wish he were

someone else. I wish he were Garret.

With affection,

Your friend Beth Wellington

In the big-sky country of Montana, the past doesn’t always stay buried.

Circumstances have a way of forcing secrets into the open, sometimes bringing

hearts together in unlikely ways, and sometimes tearing them apart. Dear Lady

is Book One in the Coming to America series about women who come to America to

start new lives. Set in the late 1800s and early 1900s, these novels by best-

selling author Robin Lee Hatcher craft intense chemistry and conflict between

the characters, lit by a glowing faith and humanity that will win your heart.
