A Pearl to Cherish

By R.M. Shepherd

A wealthy English girl committed to a life of chastity, prayer, and service when she joined a Roman Catholic convent. But she is forced to return home when Edward VI closes her convent. Her domineering father demands that she abandon her vocation and marry a man of his choosing. Challenged and inspired by a fiery Scottish preacher, she converts to the Protestant faith and falls in love with him. When a Roman Catholic becomes queen and begins to imprison Protestants, her betrothal to the preacher is broken, and the preacher flees to Europe. Will she remain in England and renounce her new faith? Or will she choose love and her new faith and marry her preacher? This is historical fiction based on the lives of John Knox and Marjory Bowes. It is a story of love and hope against the backdrop of conflict between rich and poor, Protestant and Roman Catholic, and England and Scotland.
