A HISTORICAL NOVEL OF THE PERILS OF NEWLYWED LIFE AND ALL THAT COMES TO DIVIDE LOVERS In 1897 newly married Beryl and Edward Massart travel more than one thousand miles from Quebec to farm a plot of land in Wisconsin that they bought sight-unseen. An almost magical grove of maples on their property inspires them to dream of a real home built within the grove, not the tiny log cabin they’ve come to live in. Misunderstandings and tempers get the better of them when difficulties and troubles arise. Just months after they wed, Edward leaves pregnant Beryl in the midst of the coming winter to tend the farm and animals while he goes to be a teamster at a northern Wisconsin logging camp. Will Beryl and Edward walk into the future together to build their house of dreams in the grove of maples, or will their plans topple like a house of sticks when the winds of misunderstanding and disaster strike? Readers of Christian historical fiction, Historical fiction, Women’s fiction, and Christian historical romance will be endeared to this slice of late 19th century farm life.

 After 20+ years as professional NYC actor, I stumbled into some documentary voiceover work. From that moment on, I knew the trajectory of my career had been changed forever. I adore narrating and doing VO, and every job feels like a gift.

Beryl: Courageous and willing to give her all, Beryl doesn’t back down from a challenge. This kind of fortitude, in part, provides her with the ability to navigate through some tough circumstances. Though strong, Beryl constantly needs reminding of Edward’s love. She struggles with seeing his overtures in the way he can express them and taking him at his word. At average height with russet-brown hair, hazel eyes, and boasting even, fine features, Beryl portrays a lovely image of womanhood. 

Edward: Edward cuts the figure of a tall, lanky man. Manly with a square jaw and high cheekbones, his sparkling blue eyes crown his looks. Though a jokester on occasion, he can easily lose his patience, struggling especially with that when faced with failure. Hard working, Edward strives to be the provider his wife Beryl needs, but it’s also what contributes to their division. 

  Cedric: Too self-assured, Cedric, Edward’s cousin, assumes too much when it comes to Beryl. He’s a man who works hard for what he wants and isn’t afraid to question societal boundaries. With a sturdy, muscular body, tightly curled dark hair, flashing dark eyes, and a smile that always says he’s got things under control, Cedric is an attractive man but can often come across as too full of himself. 

Nola: Thank goodness for Nola, Beryl’s neighbor and close friend. A mothering, no-nonsense type of woman, Nola takes charge but in a loving way. She most always exudes a cheerful disposition. She’s a true friend, and without her support Beryl would have floundered when the harshest trial hit. With light hair and eyes and rosy cheeks, Nola is the opposite of Beryl in looks and renders up the image of a sweet Scandinavian middle-aged woman. 

Olivia: Beryl and Olivia are drawn to each other, sharing some similar traits and pursuits. Olivia is the picture of a raven-haired beauty with fair skin and delicate features but plenty of inward gumption and spunk. The two friends bond over their visits and quilting times. And despite other trying circumstances, Oliva assists Beryl when she needs help the most.
