Sinopse

Over six feet tall and square-shouldered, Norwin, the Earl of Kensall is beyond dispute extremely handsome and known to have an eye for the ladies.But when the beautiful young Sadira Bourne is told she is to marry him, she is appalled. Not only because she does not love him or even like him, but also because he has little regard for her and is actually in love with her stepmother, the Marchioness of Langbourne. The Earl only means to marry Sadira to save her stepmother’s reputation and indeed his after her husband discovered her affair and is intent on divorce, which would take a long time and cause a major Society scandal, which everyone involved in will suffer from.Wickedly the Marchioness gives Sadira little choice, threatening the lives of her beloved horse and dog and assuring her that she will besmirch Sadira’s name forever in the Social world.Refusing to marry a man she will never love, Sadira flees to Morocco to become a student of the famed Medical Missionary, Father Christopher. But little does she know how much her intelligence, sylph-like figure, striking blue eyes and ineffable beauty have entranced her forced fiancé.Or that he is setting out in his fine yacht to come to her rescue. And little does either the Earl or Saira know in what terrifying circumstances they will be together once more!

    Honoré de Balzac was born on the 20th May, 1799 in the French city of Tours into an upper middle class family.  
    At birth Balzac was wet-nursed and often then schooled away from home by parents who seemed remote.  So difficult was life that at 15 he attempted suicide. The family’s intention was for him to have a career in law but Balzac preferred literature.  An avid reader, he began writing but his early attempts showed little promise.  
    He thereafter settled in Paris and began to publish anonymously across political, philosophical, and historical novels. 
    In 1825, Balzac purchased a printing house.  He was soon bankrupt and forced to return to writing in order to reduce his debts.  But his literary fortunes had changed, and his writing was now to achieve considerable success.  He was accepted among the city’s literary élites and its salons and would play an important role in establishing the copyright law in France.  
    Balzac often worked on more than one project at a time and in his magnus opus ‘The Human Comedy’ all types of texts were collected to offer a rare narrative of different classes and social stereotypes of society.  For many Balzac is considered the father of French realism, yet his works also cover philosophical and psychological questions.  His writing was a fundamental source of inspiration for many distinguished and later writers such as Flaubert, Zola and Proust.  
    Balzac also tried his hand at magazine publication with ‘La Chronique de Paris’ and ‘La Revue Parisienne.’  Although he was partnered with others such as Victor Hugo, it was another complete financial failure.  
    As a committed Catholic, Balzac’s stories also dealt with themes of mysticism, esotericism and spirituality, as well as universality and humanism.  
    In politics, he was a staunch defender of the French Crown but unlike his contemporaries he was not an implacable enemy of the republicans.  He often presented disagreements between royalists and republicans as a tolerable difference in political opinion.  
    Despite many relationships Balzac married only towards the end of his life and it was in 1833 that he met the Polish Countess Hanska, who only became his wife 17 years later after an extensive relationship by correspondence and, by then, his health was ruinously bad.  
    Honoré de Balzac died on 18th August 1850 in Paris.  He was 51.

    Meet Amelia Moon, a “precocious” (per her third grade teacher) teenager from the small (and mostly quiet) town of Sundance, Wyoming.  
    Whether fly-fishing for rainbow trout in the Belle Fourche River, enjoying a wood-fired pizza from the hundred-year-old Smokey Moses oven, or joining her Forest Ranger father to check on the local wolf reintroduction program in the Bear Lodge Mountains, Amelia makes the most of the luxuries her western town affords.  
    But, with the annual Summer Solstice Spectacular just around the corner, she’s about to discover her hometown isn’t as sleepy as it seems. 
    In the weeks leading up to the celebration, Amelia and her quirky best friend, Veyla, stumble upon strange events and hidden clues that suggest Sundance is hiding deep secrets. And the deeper the girls get, the more they keep tripping over the invisible thread connecting all these long-buried mysteries – Amelia’s own family's elusive history. 
    Suddenly, the world Amelia thought she knew unravels, revealing hidden wonders and unforeseen challenges. Each twist pulls Amelia closer to answering one question: is she ready to embrace her destiny?
