New from Best-selling author Josi S. Kilpack and the Proper Romance Line,
The Vicar’s Daughter is a delightful twist on the classic tale of Cyrano De Bergerac.
Cassie, the youngest of six daughters in the
Wilton family, is bold, bright, and ready to enter society. There’s only
one problem: her older sister Lenora, whose extreme shyness prevents
her from attending many social events. Lenora
is now entering her third season, and since their father has decreed
that only one Wilton girl can be out at a time, Cassie has no choice
except to wait her turn.
Evan Glenside, a soft-spoken, East London
clerk, has just been named his great-uncle’s heir and, though he is
eager to learn all that will be required of him, he struggles to feel
accepted in a new town and in his new position.
A chance meeting between Evan and Lenora
promises to change everything, but when Lenora proves too shy to pursue
the relationship, Cassie begins to write Mr. Glenside letters in the
name of her sister. Her good intentions lead to
disaster when Cassie realizes she is falling in love with Evan. But
then Evan begins to court Lenora, thinking she is the author of the
letters.
As secrets are revealed, the hearts of Cassie, Evan, and Lenora are tested. Will the final letter sent by the vicar’s daughter be able to reunite the sisters as well as unite Evan with his true love?
Josi S. Kilpack hated to read until her mother handed her a copy of The
Witch of Blackbird Pond when she was 13. From that day forward, she read
everything she could get her hands on and credits her writing
“education” to the many novels she has “studied” since then. She began
writing her first novel in 1998 and has written twenty-five novels, one
cookbook, and been part of multiple collaborations since then. She is a
four-time Whitney Award winner and Best of State winner in Fiction.
Josi currently lives in Willard, Utah, with her husband and children.When Kensington Press picked up her first national women's fiction novel, As Wide as the Sky, Josi was in need of a pen name to differentiate between her other genres. For years, Josi has been called Jessica Pack by people who hear her name but don't know her, it made her new pen name easy to choose. As Wide as the Sky will be released in paperback sometime in 2018.
