“Invitation From Iron Ridge: A Mail Order Bride Deceived” is a historical romance shaped by courage, longing, sacrifice, and hope. Set against a richly detailed historical backdrop, the novel draws readers into an emotional journey touched by the immigrant experience and the promise of a new life.

To accompany the novel, Kramer also created “The Reader’s Companion to Invitation From Iron Ridge,” a brief supplement designed to give readers added depth, context, and insight into the world of the story. Rather than serving as a standalone title, the companion is intended to enhance the novel and allow readers to linger longer in its setting, themes, and emotional landscape.

Kramer said the project has been especially meaningful to her as both a writer and creator.

“‘Invitation From Iron Ridge’ is a story very close to my heart,” Kramer said. “I wanted to create a romance that feels emotionally rich and historically grounded, while also honoring the courage, uncertainty and hope that shaped so many lives. ‘The Reader’s Companion’ offers readers another way to step more fully into that world.”

Writing as Eleanor Morelli, she has created a reading experience that blends storytelling with a strong sense of history and place. Her work will appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction, romance and stories centered on endurance, family and human connection.

For local readers, the release highlights a creative accomplishment close to home, with an Iron Mountain author bringing an original work of fiction to market and offering readers an added companion piece to deepen the experience.
