Hope Bradley from Diamond Heart by Ann Mayburn

 

 

Hope Bradley-

Owner of ‘Bradley’s Boarding House’-widowed. Voluptuous and pretty with auburn hair and a slight smattering of freckles that she tries to hide beneath powder. Her boarding house caters to single mothers(widowed/abandoned/etc) and their children. She is on the lookout for a new husband but wants to marry ‘well’ this time. Her first husband died a year after they were married and left her pretty much stranded in Freewill with only a large house and debts to her name. She worked very hard to overcome her poverty by turning her home into a boarding house, eventually expanding it into a three story home that houses ten families. A little jaded and can be quite bitchy, but a good woman underneath.
