About the Author

In 1992, Lawana Blackwell published Shores of Promise and Shores of Deliverance with Heartsong Presents Publishers under the name of Kate Blackwell. She began her writing career by joining the Gilbert Morris writing group after calling him out of the blue and talking to him about her desire to write. She stuck with the group (while many other members did not) and finally saw her work published. She says that she owes much to Gil and his persistence at keeping the members of the group writing.

Lawana and her husband, Buddy, have three sons and reside in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

This book picks up the story of Corrine's daughter Jenny from book #2, who is now grown and finishing nurse's training. She is chosen to be a private nurse for a little girl with epilepsy for the period of 2 years in order to repay her education funding. Once Jenny meets twelve-year-old Celeste, however, she realizes that she has a huge task in front of her. Petted and spoiled due to her disease and the frequent absence of her widower father, Celeste is a commanding presence to deal with. She dismisses servants at her whim and takes no responisbility for her actions. Jenny realizes that she needs to rely on her strong faith in God to get her through the two long years ahead. As she does so, she also becomes a witness to Celeste's governess and other members in the household. This is a great story of faith getting a person through very difficult times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love, courage, honour and betrayal, January 1, 2000

This review is from: Jewels for a Crown (Victorian Serenade #3) (Paperback)

This book has all of the above!! Lawana Blackwell took me once again to Victorian England and I loved the journey!! I laughed and cried at the characters' joys, sorrows, and triumphs. This book has a great plot and deserves 5 stars! Lawana Blackwell's VICTORIAN SERNANADE series are great, well-written, and well-researched. I felt that I was in London England; seeing all the parks,sights and people who lived in the 1870s there. Read this book! You won't be disappointed!
