Voices Beckon

Set in late 18th-century Philadelphia, this "engaging historical romance" (Booklife) spans seven years in the lives of three young Britons who meet while crossing the Atlantic in search of a new beginning.

David, a Scot newly apprenticed to a Philadelphia printer, and Elisabeth, a young Englishwoman with a class-conscious father, fall in love on the journey. Liam, an orphaned Scot with a checkered past, becomes a steadfast friend to them both. Bound by a life-changing voyage, the three establish unwavering ties of friendship, love, and loyalty-until Elisabeth is forced to make a choice that may shatter their friendship and alter their paths.

Rich in historical detail, the story chronicles their coming of age against the vivid backdrop of the developing United States of America.
