Corinne Taylor tells the compelling, true story of Florence, a young debutante in the late-Victorian, high society of Washington D.C., who sidesteps a local array of appealing, eligible suitors and chooses Tom, a stranger to the city.

Despite her other unrelenting suitors, Tom proves himself to be her truelove and an ambitious young man of great promise. With his impressive academic credentials and glowing references, he attains the blessing of her father, and their future appears golden.

Vulnerabilities, romantic idealism, and unscrupulous behavior converge within the young couple's seemingly idyllic relationship and, ultimately, lead to a perplexing tragedy.

What occurred in 1915 splashed blood-red headlines across the front pages of Washington's newspapers. It plagued Florence's family with fear and suspicion, and left a wake of unanswered questions.

Meticulous research into archived information has put these questions to rest, and a mystery is revealed that has lain dormant for four generations.

In Beyond Deliverance, Corinne Taylor continues the emotionally riveting and historically intriguing true story begun in her 2012 book, Deliverance from Evil.

So beautiful was the sight of Florence in her wedding gown as she walked down the aisle on the arm of her father in the Congregational Church that the thousand guests waiting in hushed conversations gasped in awe. Once an admired debutante in high society of Washington D.C., Florence is humiliated by another collective gasp at scandal just six months after her fashionable wedding was highlighted on the society pages of Washington’s newspapers.

Florence now attempts to rebuild her life—just at the time when the world is rocked by war and epidemic. If she recalls with wrenching pain the girl she used to be, it is because she knows the romanticism of the time before 1915 can never be restored.

Once she idealized, now she questions—her own motives, as well as the motives of her suitors who again queue up outside her apartment at the Cairo Hotel with impressive credentials, appealing physical form, and flirtatious flattery.

Will she settle for friendship in marriage or will she hold out for the passion she desires? This story is about how Florence regains hope in her future, and the irony of her choice in men.

Author Spotlight

Ahhh! Did I just assign this novel the genre of Historical Romance?

P-lease, not to offend romance readers but this story, told in two editions, is a story about Love more than it is a love story.

The valve is mostly closed on the steam output because this is a story about real people I must respect.

And as a historical novelist, it thrills me to say that most of the steam in these books is emanating from the B&O or Penn locomotives of the early 20th century.
