    About this ebook

    In the fifteenth century, women were reading and owning their own businesses. However, parents still arranged marriages against their daughter's will. This short story reflects the count's daughter and someone she didn't want to marry. She loved another. Feudalism remained strong in Europe at this time. The count had to marry his daughter to a wealthy man or lose his heritage to the church. This is the full story Rosetta Blessing read while she traveled in Europe in Mystery Along the Danube.

    Author

    A. Nation

    I have always enjoyed reading science fiction and mysteries because I am interested in future science and puzzle solving. I write about stories of the future that mimic today's social issues. Issues such as greed, retribution, prejudice, political corruption, and what the future could become are some of the concepts I use to illustrate a moral result.What motivates me? A story I may read in the newspaper, political idiocy, a situation that happened in history, or just anything that I can twist the perspective around. I travel the west with my husband and read about the small towns of the USA as we drive through them.
