5 months on the new york times best seller list. from the back cover:
It was a small Pennsylvania town at the turn of the century. A world of corruption and greed, where secrets were public knowledge and love was for innocents.
This was the world of Jason Garrity. A man of passion and principle. A man who had pulled himself up from the slums and now had everything he thought he wanted.
What he wanted most was beautiful Patricia Mulligan, daughter of the town's wealthiest man. Jason longed for her from afar--never dreaming that this great beauty would soon be his.
For Patricia had fallen in love with Jason's best friend, and even now was bearing his child. But he loved another...
Thus it began. This tale of tangled passions and the brutal cost of wealth and power.
