DESTINY’S WINDOW
American Historical Romance
BY JOLYNN KERR
Excerpt
Young Dagmar has suffered a loss greater than she could ever imagine. Diphtheria has ravaged her family and left her brokenhearted. Seeking comfort she now must slip away to secretly bear her child come spring. As the baby grows inside, she knows it may be lost to her forever. Set in rural Minnesota during the prosperity years of 1920’s, the Great Depression of the 1930’s, and finally the coming of war in the early 1940’s. She must endure her shame and loss of her family all alone for the first time in her life.
Although the stigma of out of wedlock childbearing is not as great as a century ago, is it really any easier or less traumatic today? Are our choices any less painful?
