Susan Anne Mason's latest tale, A Most Noble Heir, will take you back to Derbyshire, England, in the year 1884. You find Nolan Price working hard as a stable hand for the Earl of Stainsby; however, he has bigger dreams. Nolan has been saving money to some day soon purchase his own farm!
On the day that Nolan finally makes a deal with Mr. Simpson, a local farmer, to purchase his land, he receives word that mother has collapsed. When Nolan's mother learns that she is near death, she pulls Nolan close to share some shocking news. Nolan's father, the man he has wondered about his entire life, is actually the Earl of Stainsby!
Hold on to see how Nolan and the earl deal with the fact that Nolan wants to marry Hannah Burnham, a kitchen maid, who is now beneath his class. Will Nolan take actions against his strong-handed father, or will his dreams dissolve before his eyes?
This is an interesting tale, as you watch the main characters slowly adjust to this new challenge that God has laid before them!
