Jane Digby's Diary

"As the depth of truth of one's life can only be penned upon the pages of a diary, Jane Digby leads us through her passionate life . . . A wonderful piece of historical fiction that will delight your senses as well as your heart." - Peggy Lee Sprague, Author of The Truth Hunters series

JANE DIGBY'S DIARY continues with Volume Three: FOLLOWING AN EASTERN STAR.

Based on a true story . . .

Bright, beautiful, and bold, Jane Digby led a remarkable life. Born to privilege in 1807 at Dorset, England, she soon scandalized Europe with her reckless pursuit of freedom. Kings, princes, barons, brigands, lords, and sheikhs were among her lovers. A gifted artist and musician, as well as a superb horsewoman, she spoke several languages, read widely, and embraced all manner of culture and travel.

An amusing, thoughtful, and moving work of historical fiction, JANE DIGBY'S DIARY offers a compelling account of a woman who truly lived all for love. In volume three of JANE DIGBY’S DIARY, Jane’s life has been struck by unimaginable tragedy, yet she continues to look to the future. This time her restless spirit leads her to the Near East where she tours some of the most famous cities of the ancient world. Cairo. Constantinople. Jerusalem. Baghdad. Palmyra. Damascus. There she meets a handsome, young sheikh. Will he be the one who tames her rebel heart? There is only one way to find out - join her on her path to a life well lived.

This volume is the third installment of the series, JANE DIGBY'S DIARY. The complete four-part series is now available in the Kindle store.

"Told in fictional diary form, this story based on the real life of a free-thinking, passionate woman who scandalized high-born society with her escapades is beautifully written and swept me into her world . . . An unexpected treat." - Kristy Dark
