Inspirational stories of God's love and grace...

Mia Stanley has been Garrett Wilson’s neighbor since she was a babe. They had practically grown up together. He’s been her best friend and confidante, shared her adventures and dreams, and now that they are older, she has realized that it is high time she repaid his kindnesses. Mia decides that what Garrett really needs is a wife. And, with her talent at matchmaking, she’s sure to find a lady of high regard with whom he can spend his life.

Finding the perfect lady is more difficult than it seems, though. Problems abound with each and every introduction that Mia makes. Soon, it becomes apparent that the match that she’s looking for might have been right under her nose the whole time.

Mia’s matchmaking must take a backseat when she discovers, through her writing job at GODEY’S LADIES BOOK, the terrible plight of the wives of Philadelphia’s seamen. Mia must delve deep into the seedy side of life to get the story for GODEY’S, hoping that if the tale is told, others will also offer aid to the unfortunate women. In her quest to find a solution, she unwittingly puts herself in danger, and draws Garrett into the danger as well.

A LADY OF HIGH REGARD is a wonderful read, full of realistic heart-warming characters and a strong, but not overdone, message of faith. Author Tracie Peterson has created a richly romantic tale set against one of America’s most interesting periods in history. First in the Ladies of Liberty series, A LADY OF HIGH REGARD is simply refreshing, leaving readers with a feel-good outlook and a positive message of hope and love.
