It was a pleasure to meet with E.V. Sparrow, historical fiction author. She writes inspirational stories (her tagline is Encounter God’s Unexpected Presence) and has recently signed a three-book contract with Celebrate Lit Publishing. Connect with her on her website and be sure to sign up for her newsletter.
Her novella, Muldoon’s Minnesota Darling is
available on Amazon.
A heartsore widower with hidden fears and little faith...
The naïve daughter of a farmer guarding a repulsive secret...
A township unaware of the hidden menace amongst them...
New York City, 1867
Heartbroken from losing his family and his farm, Mick Muldoon is
hopeful as he emigrates to America with his siblings. All he finds
is despair and no work. Were America’s rumored promises of plenty
all lies? Would God ever hear and answer his prayers?
Minnesota, 1867
Seventeen-year-old Shauna McGann is determined to marry Mick
Muldoon despite her mother’s objections. His past and his limp
might repulse others, but not her. What burdens Shauna is her
terrible secret—a secret she promised her friends she would keep.
Now Shauna needs help and protection. Could she trust Mick, or will
she lose everything by telling him?
Will Mick finally be free of loss and find success in America? Will
Shauna overcome her fears and finally feel safe?
In this Muldoon’s Misfortunes prelude novella, author E.V. Sparrow
creates a provoking tale of flickering faith and enduring hope
through an emigrant’s efforts to adapt, and a young woman’s
unprejudiced love.
