About this listen
Abigail’s Exchange is the inspiring story of a young lady who comes of age in the late 1800s in Baltimore, Maryland. Raised to own and manage a candy store which is left in her hands following tragedy, she struggles with her career and her wedding vows when she finds herself locked in the stranglehold of a difficult marriage.
In Abigail’s life, the reversals of fortune continually strike suddenly and without warning. At her lowest point, she watches her good intentions turn into unspeakable calamity. But, this is not the end of the story, for there is yet another reversal - a final, terrific tale of bravery, shrewdness, and unfaltering resilience.
This story will resonate with women and men who are trying to navigate through real life with grace and honor. What follows is a romance story with a twist. Because of the harsh realities of her widowhood during the Victorian period in Baltimore, Abigail succumbs to a life of poverty. Determined to find a way out, she becomes a member of The Woman's Exchange and manages to gain the trust and admiration of Mrs. Harmon Brown, the founder of the Exchange. Abigail is offered a position on the board of directors. At the annual board meeting, Abigail reconnects with Bill Garrett. She is hesitant and fearful, but a romance ignites. They fall deeply in love. At the end of the story, the readers experience a joyful resolution. Abigail and Bill's sensibilities and values become intricately entwined. Their love story provides a truly jubilant ending.
