Journey with Bella as she establishes a new life for herself,
By
This review is from: A Fragile Design (Bells of Lowell Series #2) (Paperback)
Experience drama, romance and intrigue in one of America's early industrial settlements. In this second volume of the Bells of Lowell series, the story picks up with two Shaker girls who make a break from the life they've known for a new beginning working in the textile mills of Lowell, Massachusetts. Accustomed to a life of equality between men and women, Bella and Daughtie are shocked to discover life in the outside world not quite so lenient towards women. Eager to set things right, Bella strives to forge a place for women in a society dominated by men, while trying to fight off the advances of heartbreaker Taylor Manning and gain a foothold in her new life of independence. In the midst of all this, girls are going missing from the Irish settlement, and rumours of an uprising cause tempers to flare and rationality to cease. It'll take more than a few level heads to cool things down, especially when girls from the mills start to disappear as well... A FRAGILE DESIGN is a riveting sequel to the story started in DAUGHTER OF THE LOOM. ~~Ellie Schroder, owner of The Christian Fiction Site
