A Lady’s Guide to Marvels and Misadventure
Clara Marie Stanton is trying to protect her family from scandal and financial danger when her eccentric grandfather plans a globe-spanning journey in one of his marvelous inventions. The expedition includes Theodore Kingsley, an imaginative trickster whose humor and faith challenge Clara’s need to control every possible risk. Mechanical wonders, international stops, and pursuing enemies turn the trip into both an adventure and a test of whom Clara can trust. Whimsical, clean, and gently romantic, this Christian historical novel is a cheerful vacation read for anyone who wants steampunk-flavored gadgets, aerial travel, family loyalty, and courage replacing fear.
