Overview
"Marion Mead is a forty-two-year-old widow, raising two young stepdaughters as her own. She is also a woman with an extraordinary imagination who has often been accused of getting lost in her own imaginings - an attribute that in no small way accounts for her success as a promising novelist. Yet with Marion's latest book, a historical novel based on a 1769 newspaper story about a woman named Susanna Grier who abandoned her husband to run off with a charming convict, Marion's identification with her heroine begins to border on obsession." "Marion is driven in her quest to find out as much about the real-life Grier family as possible. And when Marion is given the handwritten journal, dating back to 1850, of Grier's great-granddaughter, Pearl Withers, readers are transported into another century and Marion is swept off her feet by the charmingly eccentric stranger who presented the diary to her." "Drawn to this wealthy and mysterious man from the first moment she meets him, Marion agrees to bring her children to his restored plantation in rural Virginia to complete the research for her book. But just as she surrenders her heart to him, the lines between past and present begin to blur, and Marion is no longer certain whether she is living her own life or reliving someone else's. Has she fallen in love with a madman or glimpsed a truth more frightening than madness?"--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
