Across The Blue

$17.00

Bringing Edwardian period romance to life and ideal for Julie Klassen readers, derring-do, adventure, and faith make up the core of this story of an English aviation pioneer and the girl who falls for him.

Isabella Grayson, the eldest daughter of a wealthy, English newspaper magnate, longs to become a journalist, but her parents want her to marry well and help them gain a higher standing in society. After she writes an anonymous letter to the editor that impresses her father, her parents reluctantly agree she can write a series of articles about aviation and the race to fly across the Channel if she promises to accept a marriage proposal within the year.

When James Grant, an aspiring aviator, crashes his flying machine at the Grayson’s new estate, Bella is intrigued. James is determined to be the first to fly across the English Channel and win the prize Mr. Grayson’s newspaper is offering. He hopes it will help him secure a government contract to build airplanes and redeem a terrible family secret.

James wants to win Bella’s heart, but his background and lack of social standing make it unlikely her parents would approve. If he doesn’t succeed at his dreams, will he win the love and respect he is seeking? Will Bella’s faith and support help him find the strength and courage?
