Nothing on Earth & Nothing in Heaven

This is a story that is epic in scope and powerfully told. It is the tale of a woman trying to find her place in a world that doesn't understand her. In a world that wants to silence her. This is the tale of a suffragette. It is also a tale of love and loyalty, but it's so much more than that.

Susan has truly written a masterpiece, made even more compelling by the fact that it isn't just a story comprised of completely made-up events and experiences. The things Nora went through really did happen to women back then. They really were treated in such a way, and there were times as I read that I found myself completely overcome with emotion. I was angry, but also thankful for the sacrifices made by those brave women who fought so hard for the rights we hold dear today. The rights we so often take for granted. Which is why it is a book I will give to my daughters to read when they are older. It's history exquisitely brought to life.

It is against this backdrop that we are given the romance of Lady Nora and William Frazier. As the daughter of an earl, the American heir to a railroad fortune isn't good enough for her in the eyes of her family. Nora and William's love is forbidden, but they find a way to be together against truly impossible odds. Theirs is a bond that will not be broken, and while we are taken on quite a journey in the finding of it, they at last get their beautiful, sigh-worthy HEA.
