Summary
In 1838, Arabella Godwin and her beloved younger brother, Lewis, are orphaned and shipped away from their home in New York City to live on their aunt's desolate farm upstate. The comforts she has always known are replaced with grueling work and a pair of cunning enemies in her cousins Agnes and Matthew. Amid this bleak existence, there emerges light in the form of a local boy, Jeptha Talbot. He is everything good that Arabella craves. His love saves her and becomes an obsession that will last her whole life. Time and again, she will be broken and remade. She will bear a gambler's child, build a fortune, commit murder, leave a trail of aliases in her wake, and sacrifice almost everything-though perhaps not enough for the man whose love she cannot bear to lose.
