Book
Pin’s Promise
First published 2022
Penelope “Pin” Billings and Jonathan Evers have loved one another since childhood in the English village surrounding Crompton Hall. Pin’s talent lies in sewing and teaching other women; Jonathan has trained as a doctor and hopes to serve neighbours who cannot easily obtain care. Their long-standing promise appears ready to become an engagement.
A tragedy divides them and forces both to reconsider whether love is possession, duty or vocation. The novella also shows the circumstances that bring the young Annie Wood into domestic service, establishing the social world from which The Pattern Artist later emerges. Christian trust, practical service and the dignity of skilled work make this more than a romantic prelude.
