Book Description

December 1, 2010 Romancing America

Relive Michigan’s industrial boom alongside three women who must change their way of viewing the world before they can realize love. Felicity does a very noble deed only to lead her to a romance that would be banned by her wealthy society. Annabelle’s interest in a potato picker is barred by the stigma society has placed on his ruined family. Shannon has seen too much about industry fail, prompting her to reject the suit of one of Henry Ford’s employees. Can each woman find the faith to push through the barriers so they can embrace romance?

More About the Author

Amber Stockton began her publishing career as Amber Miller, using her middle and maiden names. Now, she publishes under her married name. Her first is Tiffany, and most people call her Tiff. She married the love of her life in July 2007 and lives in beautiful Colorado with her husband, their daughter born April 2009 and their Australian Shepherd/Flat-haired Retriever mix, Roxie.

Her first book, Promises, Promises, released in February 2008. It's part of a series set in Delaware during the Colonial period. They were repackaged for a state set entitled Liberty's Promise (March 2010). She has also sold another series set in historical Michigan during the Industrial Revolution. Those released in 2009 and will be repackaged as Michigan Brides (December 2010).

She firmly believes a good book can take you away from your present reality into a world you've never seen. With a passion for history, her books take you back to the worlds that once were and give you a slice of life amidst the adventures of her characters.

She got involved with web design in 1997, when she was asked to take over running the official web site for the television series Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. That eventually led to a series of negotiations where she was offered the job of running world-renowned actress Jane Seymour's official fan site. Now, with over 50 clients, she and her husband run the design and consulting business of Eagle Designs!

Some other tidbits: she was once the only living female Miller in her family; she is related to former President Woodrow Wilson through her great-grandfather's sister; she's traveled to 41 of the 50 U.S. states and collects playing cards from all of her travels; and she once recorded a CD with a 100+ member choir.

She loves to hear from her readers. Feel free to begin a discussion below or check out her author site and leave feedback there.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Gentle Historical Romance, December 19, 2010
By 
C. Wong "Book worm" (Allen, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Michigan Brides (Romancing America) (Paperback)
Starting from the first page, it was difficult to stop reading 'Michigan Brides'. I was immediately immersed into times of the Industrial Revolution and the social culture in Detroit.

I would classify this book of three stories as a romantic historical fiction with a G rating. What drew me to this book was the time of the Industrial Revolution and the beginnings of the first gasoline powered automobiles. Another draw was the location, Detroit, Michigan. The stories made me wonder about the times when my great grandparents were young. They were all in Indiana but all the Midwestern states share same commonalities. They were mainly agricultural and when Industrial Revolution came, car manufacturing companies and all sorts of new companies emerged. Back then, life was more formal and the social status was extremely important.

There are three separate stories that are linked by the family relationships In Michigan Brides. In the first one, Felicity Chambers, an upper class young lady finds fulfillment in charity work. She genuinely finds joy in making life more bearable for others. She meets Brandt Lawson who appears to be of the lower class poor. And thereby starts the conflict of classes.

In the second one, the 1893 financial crash plunged many families into poverty. Annabelle Lawson is like her mother doing charity work by ladling out water for thirsty families gardening on loaned land. She meets William Berringer whose family was greatly hurt by the 1893 financial crash. I read elsewhere that the crash was bad, that many abandoned their homes and headed west.

In the third story, Shannon Delaney is frightened of the dangers of modern machinery when she meets Jacob Berringer. Jacob Berringer is very excited and thrilled about the changes exploding all around.

The author, Tiffany Amber Stockton very skillfully walks us into another century and place. She makes us aware of the differences between social classes, social graces and the position of women at that time. It is books like this that help us imagine what life may have been like for our ancestors during that era. Tiffany Amber Stockton brings this time to life.

I recommend this book for all who love a gentle romance and are interested in the cultural history of our country.
