Far and Away: An Ill-Fated Journey
In a simpler time, there lived a woman burdened with a terrible secret...
The year is 1911-the year in which Georgia's life is forever changed. Thrust into an arranged marriage with a man for whom she has no feelings, she is forced to leave behind all she holds dear and embark on a new journey-one that eventually takes its toll.
Her marriage to Walter de Sauveterre is not the only source of trouble in her life. A pocket watch she inherits from her grandfather is not what it seems. Rather than keeping time as it should, the hands tick in rhythm with her heart. Afraid to tell anyone the watch is cursed lest she be branded a madwoman, Georgia keeps the burden to herself. Perhaps the watch is harmless. Or is there more to it than meets the eye?
When Walter announces they will be traveling to New York City aboard the new ocean liner Titanic, Georgia is reluctant to go. The journey soon proves worthwhile when she meets the handsome poet Sir Alfred Ramsey...
She unexpectedly falls in love. . . but not with whom she expected. Now, she has two mysteries on her hands, one of which will prove difficult, perhaps even impossible, to solve.
From the final years of the Edwardian era to the tumultuous days of the Great Depression, the journey of Georgia Gloria de Sauveterre is a tale woven with love, passion, suffering, and mystery.
