Promoted to China and a Pig Tail Promise
Maggie Dunlop and Alic Granger grew up as playmates in Porlock. After Alic goes to China and fails to write, Maggie becomes a governess at Woolwich. Years later they reunite at a manor. Alic rescues the day by declaring their engagement and planning a wedding, while a wary heiress and strict hosts complicate the reunion. Maggie leaves to join a well-off aunt, and Alic plans to marry her without a pig-tail heiress.

Paul Revere and a Woman’s Call for Freedom
A poem tracing Paul Revere’s bold warning and a hidden woman’s voice urging broader freedom. It envisions light for the Pilgrim’s child, unity of nations, and women’s ministry spreading liberty worldwide. The piece blends historical imagery with a plea for expanding rights and truth across continents.
