Okay, I knew I wanted a Substitute Bride...and groom, but who would my heroine be? Who would make this story exciting? Make it interesting? Who would have be desperate enough to fill this role?
A foundling. Found on the church steps by two old maid sisters who gave her a home.
The sisters gave the baby their first names and chose her last name from the dingy gray blanket she was wrapped in, and Emiline Anastasia Gray had a home.
While other children her age were running and playing, Ellie is taught that children were to be seen, not heard. When teenagers in her classes at school are listening to rock-n-roll, playing video games and learning about computers, Ellie is learning the fine art of needle work and how to sew her own clothes. After high school, and the deaths of the elderly sisters, Ellie must find her way alone.
With sewing as her only skill, in an age when everyone is rushing to buy their clothing, Ellie is a highly skilled seamstress with no place to use her skills.
When she stumbles on an ad in the newspaper, for a contest to study with a famous designer, Ellie sends in the form to enter. The day she finds out she won the contest and is invited to the designer's studio in New York, Ellie's life changes forever.
The Substitute Bride is now available in paperback at www.amazon.com.
