Synopsis

In "Idols in the Heart: A Tale," A. L. O. E. crafts a poignant narrative exploring the interplay of faith, desire, and the perils of idolization. Set against a backdrop of Victorian moral sensibilities, this novella unfolds as a cautionary tale that intricately examines the characters' internal struggles and societal pressures. A. L. O. E.'s lyrical prose is marked by vivid imagery and emotional depth, inviting readers into a world where personal convictions clash with societal expectations, leading to profound revelations and transformative experiences. The blend of spiritual introspection and moral commentary makes it a significant contribution to the literature of its time, resonating with themes of redemption and self-discovery. A. L. O. E., the pen name of the English writer Charlotte Maria Tucker, was known for her deep religious conviction and commitment to moral storytelling. Her diverse background, which spanned both literature and missionary work, heavily influenced her writing style and thematic choices. Tucker's personal experiences and faith shaped her perspectives on human nature and the struggle between materialism and spiritual fulfillment, as evident in "Idols in the Heart." Engaging and reflective, "Idols in the Heart" is a must-read for scholars of Victorian literature and anyone seeking a profound exploration of the human condition. Its rich characterization and moral underpinnings prompt introspection, making it a timeless narrative that resonates with readers seeking both entertainment and enlightenment.

    Virginia plantation life is all she has ever known.  
    But could the life she was meant to live be waiting on a distant shore?  
     
    In 1774, Juliet Catesby lives with her father and sister at Royal Vale, the James River plantation founded by her Virginia family over a century before. Indigo cultivation is her foremost concern, though its export tethers her family to the powerful Buchanan clan of Glasgow, Scotland.  
     
    When the heir of the Buchanan firm arrives on their shores, Juliet discovers that her father has arranged for one of his daughters to marry the Scot as a means of canceling the family's crippling debt. Confident it will be her younger, lovelier sister, Juliet is appalled when Leith Buchanan selects her instead. 
     
    Despite her initial refusal, Juliet realizes that fleeing Virginia is her only choice after finding herself in the midst of a scandal. The ship just leaving the harbor for Glasgow is her only hope. But she will soon realize that being part of the complex and calculating Buchanan clan is not the sanctuary she imagined--and the man who saved her from ruin is the very one she must now save in return.
