A Heart for Milton: A Tale from North and South

When Margaret Hale hastily rejected the powerful mill owner's love, she could not have foreseen the events that would lead her to change her mind and open her heart. Sorely regretting her former harsh judgment of him, she longs for an opportunity to show Mr. Thornton how much she truly esteems him.

Since the fateful day of the riot, John Thornton has learned to call a former enemy his friend, has established a workers' kitchen, and has taken an interest in the education of Boucher's orphan children. But he believes the woman who helped instigate such broad changes in his outlook has given her heart to another.

When Margaret comes to the Thornton house to say good-bye, an exchange occurs that will begin to untangle the only misunderstanding that keeps them apart….

This romantic variation of Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South begins with a twist in the original plot and continues the story through the first year of marriage.

For those who craved to see more of Margaret and John's happiness, A Heart for Milton portrays the intensity and bliss of finding the hope of love fulfilled. Here, all the smoldering passion long held within John Thornton is finally unleashed in a tenderly told story of enduring love.
