"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house." Matthew 5:14-15

"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it." Matthew 13:45-46

A Change of Fortune by Jen Turano

Jen Turano weaves a delightful tale in A Change of Fortune. Lady Eliza Sumner has lost everything - her family, her fortune, her fiance, and her faith in God. She travels to America from England with one thought - to find the man who ran off with her fortune and regain her inheritance and return to her homeland.

In New York City she must go under cover as a governess, so as not to reveal her true identity. At the insistence of her employer, she attends a dinner party and meets Mr. Hamilton Beckett. He is the much sought after bachelor in New York society. As Eliza seeks information about the thief who stole everything from her, she continues to bump into Hamilton Beckett.

The duo undergo many twists and turns as they join forces. Will they choose to have more than a dwindling faith in God, or will they seek Him with their future?
