Fans of Laura Frantz and Tamera Alexander will love this heartfelt tale of a courageous woman, a wounded hero, and a marriage of convenience set on the early American frontier.

Betrayed by her family and left penniless, Honor Penworthy faces a future as uncertain as the early Ohio frontier. Forced from her Maryland plantation, she leaves behind the enslaved people she longed to free and accepts a marriage of convenience arranged through her Quaker community—a union born of duty, not desire.

Her new husband, Samuel Cathwell, a deaf glass artisan scarred by loss, lives a solitary life—rejected by society because of his deafness. Yet when Honor enters his world, her compassion and quiet strength awaken feelings he thought long dead.

Together they journey to Cincinnati—a bustling river town and gateway to the western frontier—where survival demands courage, faith, and endurance. As Honor builds a new home amid hardship and hope, she becomes secretly involved in the abolition movement, risking everything—including her fragile bond with Samuel.

When truth and conviction collide, can a marriage of convenience become a love strong enough to endure the storms ahead?

A Life with Honor is a clean Christian historical romance of faith, redemption, and love forged on the nineteenth-century frontier—perfect for readers who believe in strong women, brave stories, and the healing power of grace.
