Leeds Point (Paperback or Softback)

Set against the stark wilderness of early eighteenth-century America, Leeds Point follows Esther, a young woman cast adrift on the eastern frontier after abandonment leaves her isolated in an unforgiving landscape. As she struggles to survive, she is drawn into the lives of society's outcasts and the fierce beauty of the natural world surrounding her.

Written entirely in intricately crafted sonnets, the novel unfolds through a chorus of vivid voices, blending historical realism with moments of visionary intimacy. Among its most striking perspectives is that of an osprey whose presence threads through Esther's journey, binding human fate to the rhythms of the wild.

Meticulously researched and lyrically ambitious, Leeds Point is a powerful historical novel in verse exploring displacement, endurance, ecology, and the search for connection in a brutal and transforming world.
