The New York Times–bestselling author of Jubilee Trail does “a grand job of storytelling” in this saga of pioneers who settled the Louisiana wilderness (The New York Times). For his service in the king’s army during the French and Indian War, Judith Sheramy’s father, a Puritan New Englander, is granted a parcel of land in far-off Louisiana. As the family ventures down the Mississippi to make a new home in the wilderness, Judith meets Philip Larne, an adventurer who travels in the finest clothes Judith has ever seen. He is a rogue, a killer, and a thief—and the first thing he steals is Judith’s heart. Three thousand acres of untamed jungle, populated by native tribes and overrun with jaguars and pirates, await Philip in Louisiana. He and Judith will struggle through their stormy marriage and the challenges of the American Revolution as they strive to build an empire for future generations. This is the first novel in Gwen Bristow’s Plantation Trilogy, which also includes The Handsome Road and This Side of Glory.

Kristen Glenn had put eighteen months of her life into her relationship with Andre, and he walked away. Her greatest desire in life was to marry and have a family, but at age thirty, she wasn't sure it would ever happen. She came to Switzerland for the summer to regain a sense of balance and to realize her lifelong dream to hike the Alps. During her first hike, she veered off the marked path and found an old cemetery with just three headstones. A father, mother, and an eleven-year-old child named Angèlique. All three died during World War II-the parents a year before the child. What happened to Angèlique and why did she die so young? In the journey to solve the mystery, she met a man who became an essential part of the puzzle and had a life-changing effect upon her. She met a pastor, who had held a dark secret for decades, at a small church in the village. Why wouldn't the old woman at the historical library in the village give her any information? Kristen experienced an event that few humans would ever experience, which led her to answers.
