Very good. About a woman who knows how to get what she wants and is very independent
The epic story by the author of The Proud Breed.
Sweeping from England's West Country during the Napoleonic wars when smuggling flourished, to Maryland's lush horse country--a golden land shadowed by slavery & soon to be ravaged by a civil war--this is the story of unforgettable Alexandria Thaine & the generations of 2 families interwoven by fortune & fate. Across an ocean, through decades of danger & desire, this is Alexandria's life--the life of an indomitable beauty who gives her tormented heart to 2 bold men, who travels to distant America in search of a dream & in flight from a love that would follow her to the ends of her days.
