Description

A proud and violent family in a new land of dangerous passions. They plowed the land and sailed the seas, building the fortune that was to carry them to fame. But the descendants of Bennett Lyon could not escape the winds of war that buffeted their native Virginia, or the strain of love and loyalties that threatened to tear their family apart... ANDREW, the Oxford-educated hellion forced to become the family patriarch at an early age. He dared to marry for love--and face his mother's undying hate... EMILY, Andrew's beautiful, independent wife. She took charge of her father's fleet and bore a family of her own... MERIT, their headstrong daughter, a staunch Loyalist. She thought her children were given to her by Divine Right, and lost them all through pride...
