    About this series

    Stephen Bly's Heroines of the Golden West, which includes Sweet Carolina and The Marquesa, is a dramatic series set in the Old West. With Miss Fontenot, listeners will enjoy another visit to the growing town of Cantrell, Montana, and its colorful residents. Oliole Fontenot has moved to Cantrell from New York City to set up her own photography studio. When she is commissioned to do a series on women in the West, she realizes that this is the chance she needs to establish her reputation as an artist. But a handsome rancher begins to capture her heart, and she must reevaluate what she wants. Is God being too bountiful with his blessings? Praying for guidance, Oliole finds herself asking questions about vanity, humility, and freedom. Through Linda Stephens' narration, the young woman's meditations become a dramatic testimony to divine direction and love.

      Isabel Leon, the Marquesa, is an actress who has appeared in performances across the country, yet now she finds herself living in the small western town of Cantrell, Montana. With the town booming, the Marquesa decides it needs a grand hotel. It will take the help, and the heart, of a handsome stranger to make her dream a reality. As their relationship grows, the Marquesa finds her faith getting stronger, too. Soon, she is thinking of a role she has never played before: that of a Christian wife and mother. Linda Stephens' lovely narration perfectly conveys the transformations in the Marquesa's heart and soul.
