In Randall's voice there was not a shred of emotion; nor was there any in his expression. How should I respond? What should I say? I knew this was the hardest decision I would ever have to make. Either choice would demand a different price. Was I prepared to pay it? Was love enough in the one to bridge all the other differences of nationality, religion, and heritage? Was family loyalty, future security enough to decide for the other? What was my destiny?" The heroine of Destiny's Bride is Druscilla Montrose, who first meets Randall Bondurant when she is a bridesmaid at his wedding to her cousin Alair Chance. Eight years later, after Alair's mysterious death, they meet again in a chance encounter. This leads to a strange series of events in which Druscilla debates, then accepts the position offered her by Alair's widower. Against all advice, Dru becomes governess to her two motherless little cousins, a difficult decision because of the suspicions and accusations of family and friends that Randall might have been responsible for his wife's death. She travels with the family to Italy. Here against the romantic background of nineteenth-century Europe, Druscilla receives two unexpected offers: One is a love that will mean giving up her heritage; the other requires a decision more important than any she has ever had to make before. Dru's choices bring her into conflicts of loyalty, challenges of faith and duty, and threatened danger, as well as romance. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Plantation owners' spouses|vFiction. 650 0 Plantation life|vFiction. 651 0 Williamsburg Region (Va.)|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2gsafd 655 7 Christian fiction.|2gsafd 700 1 Raudman, Renee. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Peart, Jane.|tBrides of Montclair.|sSpoken word ;|vbk. 8 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 11617970?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ hpc_9780310874843_180.jpeg
