Thanks, Carlene for hosting me on your Blog!!! Who am I, you ask? I’d be thrilled to introduce us!! I’m Peggy Trotter, Christian author!!! Incredibly please to meet all of you. Particularly fond of the !!!! in case you haven’t picked that up, but—silly me! Of course, you’ve got that!!!

Why am I here? Well, to introduce you to my debut novel, which I might add, I am pumped to reveal to you! I’ve been dabbling in writing for over 30 years, so seeing this publish, well, glory Hallelujah, is just the proverbial dream come true! It’s a Historical Christian Romance set in southern Indiana in 1850. Here’s a tasty morsel to whet your appetite! ;)

Orphaned and widowed, eighteen year old JUBILEE STALLINGS clings to her southern Indiana farm as her only refuge. The wilds of Gibson County are just being tamed in the year of 1850, and Jubilee ekes a meager existence. But when RAFE TANNER, a cousin of her abusive dead husband, shows up with the deed to her property, Jubilee’s dream of her own home dissolves.

Rafe, stinging from his ex-fiancée’s rejection, offers a business marriage, throwing him and Jubilee together in an effort to make the farm successful. But scars from the past keep her in constant fear of her new husband. The pair masquerades as a love-struck couple at Rafe’s family farm, enduring the romantic notions of his family and the jealousy of his ex-fiancée.

Once home, Rafe realizes his newfound love for Jubilee, and sets out to court her. Meanwhile, Jubilee fights demons from her past as her husband reveals his interest. Can Jubilee let go of her distrust and pain to embrace God’s plan of true love and finally find a place to belong?

Now that you have a little base, let me add there are loads of misunderstandings, which lead to many a oopsie and even some humorous situations! But overall it’s a tale of healing, hope, and revealing how God’s way is best.
