Wild Swan // A Wild Hope

Vibrant, multicharactered, an authentic tapestry of its times, here is Wild Swan -- a novel that spans continents and generations to tell the epic story of one passionate woman, and the many faces of love.

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 and soon to be ravaged by civil war -- this is the story of unforgettable Alexandria Thaine and the generations of two families interwoven by fortune and fate. Across an ocean, through decades of danger and desire, this is Alexandria's life -- the life of an indomitable beauty who gives her tormented heart to two bold men, who travels to distant America in search of a dream and in flight from a love that would follow her to the end of her days.
