Synopsis

A spellbinding novel of enduring love, set in 18th century America and France Daniel Lombard falls in love with Louise de Vailly on the day she arrives in New York, a refugee from the French Revolution which has destroyed the lives of Louise, her sister Delphine and so many other French aristocrats. Though unsure of what they will find in the New World, Louise is a brave and determined young woman, not one to wallow in self-pity. Soon she has found work for Delphine and herself in a millinery, where she uses her innate talent and French flair for fashion to make herself indispensable. Though attracted to Daniel, Louise is equally determined that she will remain independent, not tied to any man. Fatefully, she has made that mistake in the past...

From Booklist:

Fleeing the French Revolution, Louise de Vailly arrives in New York City determined to create a new life for herself and her younger sister. The first person Louise meets as she steps off the ship is Daniel Lombard, who retrieves her hat, which had blown off in a gust of wind. Daniel is immediately attracted to the stylish young emigre, but the recently widowed Louise prizes her hard-won independence too much to become involved with another man. Finding work with a milliner, Louise soon demonstrates a talent for design and dreams of one day opening her own shop, while Daniel continues his courtship. After facing many new challenges, Louise finally succumbs to Daniels' romantic overtures, only to have a shadow from her past threaten her newfound happiness. Laker's latest historical novel is a compelling tale about a courageous woman who through her own hard work goes from rags to riches and finds true love along the way. John Charles
