Sometimes Beauty is Better Seen with the Eyes Closed Lillian Rauling is among four English women on a ship bound for matrimony. She?s the orphaned daughter of a once-famous opera singer, and her beauty has been nothing but a curse. This time that curse has driven her to flee the authorities and avoid prison by escaping to America. She daydreams that a rugged cowboy will await her on the moonlit horizon and that he?s able to see past her lovely face and into her lonely heart. Not until she hears a voice so magnificent that it steals her breath away does she realise that true happiness lies in her own willingness to look past a cowboy?s outward appearance and into his Godly heart.
