Book excerpt: Not quite historical fiction, not quite historical romance, Rachel's Chance explores the journey of Rachel Smithson as she confronts life in 17th century Maryland (Maries Land). Was this journey a life sentence of hardship and disaster? Was she sentenced by marriage? It would take more than her practical nature to overcome her own fears of death, loneliness, and despair. A woman determined to beat the odds and grab her chance in the New World, Rachel tenaciously holds on to her land and her dreams in this novel set near Sainte Maries Cittie.
