BLURB:
Free-Spirited…
Clarissa
Sullivan dreams for more from life than sipping tepid tea in stifling parlors
in Victorian Boston. She defies her family’s wishes, continuing to teach poor
immigrant children in Boston’s West End, finding a much-needed purpose to her
life.
Radical…
As
a suffragette, Clarissa is considered a firebrand radical no man would desire.
For why should women want the vote when men have sheltered women from the
distasteful aspects of politics and law?
Determined…
When
love blossoms between Clarissa and Gabriel McLeod, a struggling cabinetmaker,
her family objects. Clarissa’s love and determination will be tested as she
faces class prejudices, manipulative family members and social convention in
order to live the life she desires with the man she loves.
Will
she succeed? Or will she yield to expectations?
BANISHED
LOVE follows Clarissa Sullivan on her journey of self-discovery as she learns
what she cannot live without.

AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Ramona Flightner
is a native of Missoula, Montana. After graduating from Tufts University with a
B.A. in Spanish, she earned a Masters degree in Spanish Literature from the
University of Montana. Her Master’s thesis, Chilean Testimonial Literature: the
collective suffering of a people, highlighted her continued interest in the
stories of those who were at risk of being forgotten or silenced.
She studied
nursing at the University of Pennsylvania and graduated with a Master’s in
Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She has worked for ten years as a
family nurse practitioner providing care to the poor and under insured at two
community health centers, first in Wilmington, Delaware and now in Boston,
Massachusetts.
An avid
reader, she began writing three years ago. She enjoys the demands of research
and relishes the small discoveries that give historical detail to her books.
Ramona is an
avid flyfisher and hiker who enjoys nothing better than spending a day on a
remote Montana river, far from a city. She enjoys research, travel,
storytelling, learning about new cultures and discovering new ways of looking
at the world. Though she resides in Boston, Massachusetts, Ramona remains a
Montanan at heart.
Her dreams are to see the plains of East
Africa, marvel at the wonder of Petra in Jordan, soak in the seas of the South
Pacific, and to continue to spend as much time as possible with her family.
Banished Love
is her first novel and is the first in the forthcoming Banished Saga.
