a ring of promises

Can love survive the separation of an ocean and the unfulfilled promises of a new life in the New World?

Century-old letters found in an attic reveal the 1912 story of Will, a lowly footman to an Earl in England, and Janet, a nanny to a Lord and Lady in the Highlands of Scotland. They knew their hearts but were separated by distance and duty: Will in England, Janet in the Highlands of Scotland. Desperate to find a way to be together, Will gives up everything he knows and sets sail to find a new home with only ＄25 in his pocket and a dream. The expected short separation was not to be.

This gripping and heartfelt story traces their journeys, in back-and-forth chapters between Canada and the Highlands of Scotland, as they struggle with the help of Janet’s sister Mary Ann, to overcome the obstacles threatening their dreams.

Inspired by a true story, this Historical Fiction Saga was described as ＂unputdownable＂ by Digital Arts and Entertainment Reporter, Margaret Chrystall of Highland News and Media, Scotland.

Literary Titan review states: ＂A Ring of Promises is a romance novel that transcends genres and offers readers much more depth and emotion than your typical love story. Time and distance play an integral role in Gage’s work. The author keeps romance alive with Janet and Will. Not many books maintain the integrity of the characters’ love and dedication like this one.＂
