Again and again, Abigail sends out her letters, hoping soon to receive a reply. A physician serving under Captain Wentworth’s command, Jonathan Isaacs’ presence is sorely missed, never more so than when their father dies from a brief illness. Her brother, too, has been a dear friend and mentor in all things, but he has long been away from home. Books and instruments keep Abigail fairly occupied, as do her friends and neighbors, including Mrs. Abigail lives quietly at home with her father and long-time companion, Mrs. She is determined to follow in the footsteps of her heroine, Caroline Herschel, and become an astronomer in her own right. But Abigail is not concerned with her marital state. There you will meet Abigail Isaacs, a young lady long considered past her last prayers. The story unfolds in Devonshire, England-in Exeter to be exact. Shall I reveal all or just drop a few hints? In fact, I invite you to consider this stand-alone novel to be a prequel to Austen’s Persuasion. This is my fifth book to date and in keeping with my penchant for combining various passions, this novel is a Jewish historical fiction-with more than a nod to Jane Austen’s work. Hello lovely readers! I am delighted to stop today and appreciate the opportunity to talk about my upcoming release: Celestial Persuasion.
