I was born in England, but have lived in Southern California for many years. I m now retired and live in the Pacific NW in a little seaside city amongst the giant redwoods and wonderful harbor, almost at the Oregon border. My husband and I have one cat, called Midnight and she is featured in two of my latest Sci-Fi short stories. I love Science Fiction, animals, and trying to help others. I publish under Doreen Milstead as well as my own name. My photo was taken right before the coronation of QE II in the UK.
In the bustling heart of nineteenth-century Boston, a young woman named Eliza found herself cast into the depths of societal shame. Despite her unwavering devotion to propriety, a cruel twist of fate left her bearing the weight of an unforgivable sin – the birth of twin daughters conceived out of wedlock. Her former fiancé, a man of privilege and deceit, had taken advantage of her innocence, shattering her dreams of a respectable life.
As Eliza gazed down at her sleeping newborn daughters, a mixture of love and anguish washed over her. She knew the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, but she was determined to provide a better future for her girls. With resolve hardening in her heart, she whispered to them, "I will never let anyone harm you, my darlings."
As the days turned into weeks, Eliza's determination only grew stronger. She sought solace in the routine of caring for her daughters, finding joy in the simple moments of their daily lives. The twins, Grace and Charlotte, flourished under Eliza's devoted care, their laughter filling the small room they called home.
One afternoon, as Eliza rocked Charlotte to sleep, a knock sounded at the door. Startled, she carefully laid her daughter down before crossing the room to answer it. To her surprise, a letter addressed to her awaited on the doorstep. With trembling hands, she broke the seal and began to read. It was an offer unlike any she had ever imagined - a chance for a fresh start in the untamed West as a mail-order bride.
