Born of Persuasion by Jessica Dotta ~ Book Spotlight on Mom Loves 2 Read

ABOUT THE BOOK



The
year is 1838, and seventeen-year-old Julia Elliston’s position has
never been more fragile. Orphaned and unmarried in a time when women are
legal property of their fathers, husbands, and guardians, she finds
herself at the mercy of an anonymous guardian who plans to establish her
as a servant in far-off Scotland.




With two months to devise a better plan, Julia’s first
choice to marry her childhood sweetheart is denied. But when a titled
dowager offers to introduce Julia into society, a realm of possibilities
opens. However, treachery and deception are as much a part of Victorian
society as titles and decorum, and Julia quickly discovers her present
is deeply entangled with her mother’s mysterious past. Before she knows
what’s happening, Julia finds herself a pawn in a deadly game between
two of the country’s most powerful men. With no laws to protect her, she
must unravel the secrets on her own. But sometimes truth is elusive and
knowledge is deadly.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Born in the wrong century–except for the fact that she really likes epidurals and washing machines–Jessica Dotta writes British Historicals with the humor like an Austen, yet the drama of a Bronte.




She resides lives in the greater Nashville area—where she imagines her small Southern town into the foggy streets of 19th century London. She oversees her daughter to school, which they pretend is an English boarding school, and then she goes home to write and work on PR. Jessica has tried to cast her dachshund as their butler–but the dog insists it’s a Time Lord and their home a Tardis. Miss Marple, her cat, says its no mystery to her as to why the dog won’t cooperate. When asked about it, Jessica sighs and says that you can’t win them all, and at least her dog has picked something British to emulate.
