About this listen
Abigail’s Exchange is the inspiring story of a young lady who comes of age in the late 1800s in Baltimore, Maryland. Raised to own and manage a candy store which is left in her hands following tragedy, she struggles with her career and her wedding vows when she finds herself locked in the stranglehold of a difficult marriage.
In Abigail’s life, the reversals of fortune continually strike suddenly and without warning. At her lowest point, she watches her good intentions turn into unspeakable calamity. But, this is not the end of the story, for there is yet another reversal - a final, terrific tale of bravery, shrewdness, and unfaltering resilience.
This story will resonate with women and men who are trying to navigate through real life with grace and honor. What follows is a romance story with a twist. Because of the harsh realities of her widowhood during the Victorian period in Baltimore, Abigail succumbs to a life of poverty. Determined to find a way out, she becomes a member of The Woman's Exchange and manages to gain the trust and admiration of Mrs. Harmon Brown, the founder of the Exchange. Abigail is offered a position on the board of directors. At the annual board meeting, Abigail reconnects with Bill Garrett. She is hesitant and fearful, but a romance ignites. They fall deeply in love. At the end of the story, the readers experience a joyful resolution. Abigail and Bill's sensibilities and values become intricately entwined. Their love story provides a truly jubilant ending.

A pretty, single woman in the Old West where there is a shortage of women would surely cause heads to turn, as well as garner some serious suitors. As soon as Marissa steps off the stage, every man in Hunter’s Grove is mesmerized. Three likely suitors are bold enough to throw their hats in the ring for her attention: Cole, her aunt’s attorney, Alan, her farmer neighbor, and Nash, a neighboring sheep-ranch owner. Since her aunt left an unusual stipulation to her will, Marissa finds herself forced to choose one of them to marry.

Chris Dreyer didn’t begin his professional journey thinking he would establish one of the most successful SEO agencies in the country. In fact, he studied history in college and landed his first job as a detention room supervisor for a local high school (this wasn’t part of the plan, either). When his Google query, “how to make money online,” directed him to digital marketing courses, Chris found his calling. Soon his own sites ranked number one for “double chin,” “stained concrete,” and “acai fruit.” The rest, as they say, is history.

Story
In the home where Arabella Godwin was raised it is forbidden to speak her name, and her picture is turned to the wall. But in the turbulent America of the 1850s, everyone knows her as "Belle Cora", madam of San Francisco's finest bordello. Judges and senators do her bidding; a vicious newspaper editor plots her downfall; a preacher looks at her from across his pulpit and tries to forget that once she was his wife. Merchant's daughter, farm girl, prostitute, mother - the only thing that never changes is her tireless pursuit of the one man who can see her for who she really is.
