Prudence

By Jennifer C. Howard

A heroine who doesn't fit the mold-and changes her world because of it.

In the midst of England's eighteenth-century agricultural revolution, Prudence is an outsider in her own home-an orphaned ward with a mind that sees what others miss. Taught to "listen with her eyes," she navigates a world of rigid expectations, hidden motives, and quiet cruelties, determined to build a life defined not by marriage, but by independence.

After a devastating loss sends her to boarding school, Prudence discovers purpose in the soil-transforming a modest garden into a thriving enterprise. Alongside kindred spirits and fellow outsiders, she begins to imagine a different future: one shaped by choice, compassion, and truth. But when deception, betrayal, and long-buried secrets surface, Prudence must rely on her unique way of understanding the world to uncover what others refuse to see.

Rich in period detail and emotional insight, Prudence is a quietly powerful story of resilience, neurodivergence, and chosen family.
