Produktbeschreibung
Tanny Smith is great niece and namesake to stubborn Britannia Bender. When Aunt Britt passed away, she left a last will and testament that threw Tanny's home congregation into a whirl of controversy. Tanny, nearly as stubborn and opinionated as her great aunt, finds herself dealing with an over-involved mother, and aging dog, mounting bills, all while battling a deep longing to find love. While the congregation tries to find solutions for Aunt Britt's will, Tanny struggles to decide if she even belongs in her home congregation. She also resigns herself to the fate of most strong-willed women: like her aunt, Tanny expects she will go through life unmarried, because there is nobody powerful enough to Rule Britannia.Tanny travels to the historic family homestead in Bracebridge, Ontario, (where she discovers an intriguing young paramedic) as well as south to Ben Kirk, Pennsylvania, where she discovers several secrets to Aunt Britt's past.
Autorenporträt
Alison Longstaff Moore grew up in an intentional Christian community in eastern Pennsylvania. Her upbringing was deeply rooted in the conservative Swedenborgian denomination, which shaped her identity and sense of belonging. This community was close-knit, with strong interconnections among its members, and Alison's family was an integral part of it. The teachings and traditions of the denomination played a central role in her life from childhood through her early forties.In her early forties, deep disillusionment led Alison to resign from the conservative Swedenborgians. The decision resulted in the loss of Alison's lifetime community, identity, and familial ties. After leaving, Alison was compelled to seek out new spiritual pathways. She pursued ordination with the liberal branch of the Swedenborgian church, which contrasted sharply with the conservative branch that prohibited the ordination of women. The liberal Swedenborgians also respected Alison's autonomy, including her decision to end an unhappy marriage, without judgment or condemnation. Book two in the Cliffside Chapel Series reflects Alison's journey as her beliefs evolved from traditional theological views toward a more dynamic and relevant theology. She integrates psychological insights to better understand contemporary social values, while always emphasizing Jesus' central teaching of loving one's neighbor.
