From the Back Cover:
"Rich, colorful, and compelling." -- John Barkham Reviews.
"Belva Plain doesn't know how not to write a best-seller." -- Newsday.
David and Miriam Raphael found their life transformed the minute their wandering father returned to their poor European village. The year was 1835. He had come to take his children away -- to a fairy-tale existence in New Orleans, to a great house, a business dynasty, and a magnificent city. But he was also ripping them away from their heritage.
Now, as David faces becoming a man amid courtly Creole manners and slave estates, he is forced to make a devastating choice, risking a future as an outcast...and his father's enemy. And as Miriam grows into exquisite young womanhood, she too will be caught in a struggle of divided loyalties...and in a great tide rising in American history: a fight between North and South that would test her faith-and her growing passion for a forbidden love....
