POLLYANNA (Completed)
Pollyanna is a best-selling 1913 novel by Eleanor H. Porter that is now considered a classic of children's literature, with the title character's name becoming a popular term for someone with the same very optimistic outlook. Also, the subconscious bias towards the positive is often described as the Pollyanna principle. The book was such a success that Porter soon produced a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915).Complete

The Vow
A whispered vow. One she never meant to make alone. Miss Lily Hill never expected her world to fall apart so swiftly. The daughter of a country clergyman, she dreamed only of love and a family of her own. But when fate upends those dreams, leaving her with little more than memories and a future she cannot change, Lily is sequestered to a quiet country parish to begin again. Hidden away, she vows to protect her child and her heart, even if it means living without love forever. Some seasons are made for second chances. Ten years later, Lily has built a life of quiet dignity. Her son thrives, and the village holds her in esteem-yet her heart remains carefully guarded. Then a fire brings Mr. Abacus Addington to her side: a steady, dependable man whose quiet strength unsettles her more than she dares admit. His presence stirs feelings long buried, and as snow falls and the season of miracles begins, Lily must decide-will she guard her heart or risk it all for one final chance at love? Author's note: If you read 'A Chemistry at Cross Keys,' you will recognize Lily Hill as a side character from my third book. I had a reader who was very eager to learn Lily's story. Originally intended to be a holiday romance, I realized it ended up being a subtheme to the main trope, which is second-chance romance. I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for liking, as well as providing constructive feedback and criticism.
