About this book
Dell Bronson's sheltered life in refined Boston society shatters when her father summons her home to Lewiston at eighteen. There, she discovers her earthly father is a crude tavern owner—a man seemingly worlds apart from the genteel world she's known. Yet Dell carries a deeper identity: as a daughter of the heavenly King, she believes she's been called to a sacred mission—to lead her father away from rum and toward redemption through faith.
Set against the backdrop of America's temperance movement in the 1800s, Isabella Alden's *The King's Daughter* weaves together a compelling coming-of-age story with profound spiritual questions. This religious fiction explores the power of conviction, familial love, and one young woman's determination to honor both her earthly and heavenly fathers. Dell must navigate the collision between her upbringing and harsh reality, testing whether faith and persistence can truly transform a life consumed by vice.
As the third installment in the beloved Ester Ried series, this audiobook offers listeners a stirring portrait of Victorian-era America while examining timeless themes of redemption, sacrifice, and divine purpose. Perfect for those seeking historical fiction infused with spiritual depth, *The King's Daughter* reminds us that love and faith can reach even the most hardened hearts.
