flexible with my ever-changing schedule
Adrienne was the editor for my PhD. I would definitely recommend her services. She was a pleasure to work with, especially being flexible with my ever-changing schedule.

Alongside the quay and wharves on Bristol’s floating harbour, she dreams of finding love, and a destiny where she can escape the drudgery and tragedy that life usually delivers Victorian women. But dreams are free, and few share her ideals. When reality strikes, and Sarah learns the hard way that life is unkind, one man offers her hope.

She breaks conventions and makes sacrifices to keep that hope alive.
