  In 1783, Liam Brock, David Graham, and Elisabeth Hale crossed the Atlantic on a life-changing voyage. Together by chance, bound by choice—their story continues in this "sweeping epic". (Kirkus Reviews) 
  When the orphaned Liam Brock first set foot in Philadelphia, he was brimming with aspirations. Now, seven years later, he faces a startling sensation of loss as his constant companions, David and Elisabeth, begin a life apart. Aimless for the first time in his life, he forgoes opportunities to pursue his passion for law and continues dallying with a variety of Philadelphia's young women. His poor Scottish roots and questionable parentage, always a sore spot, suddenly impede any possibility of a profession—at least in his own mind. 
  Then Elisabeth's childhood friend, the fiery and independent Rhiannon Ross, comes to town, seeking reprieve from a misguided marriage. Though yet another reminder of his limitations, she grabs Liam's interest from the outset, compelling him to open his heart once more to life's possibilities. 
  "An investment worth making for the author’s vivid historical detail and convincing slice-of-life predicaments. Historical fiction fans should take note." ~ Publishers Weekly
