Description
Teresa Francis, beloved daughter and heiress to one of the island's great houses, allowed herself to be seduced by one of the estate workers. Years later, she returned to reclaim and restore her family's great estate.
But the happiness and charm she remembered had vanished. Francis, the elegant son of Teresa's marriage to a wealthy New Yorker, regarded the estate and its people as an encumbrance. Patrick, son of Teresa's guilt, was a man of the island, a man of the people, fighting for the survival of the island he loved. And throughout the violence and family troubles, Teresa - the woman whose one act of folly changed her life-held the complex family around her with tenderness and strength.
