Spurred by her mother’s dying wish, Susannah Connolly has
traveled from her lifelong home on the Connecticut
shoreline to the fabled French Camargue, to see its famous
white horses and find a mysterious saint linked to her
family’s history. An accomplished anthropologist, Susannah
has always been confident of her ability to navigate
anywhere on the globe. But in the wake of a failed love
affair and grieving the loss of her mother, she is adrift
and uncertain, seeking only time alone to dig deeply into
the personal archaeology of her own life.
American-
born Grey Dempsey had come to the Camargue as a
journalist, fell in love with a celebrated Romany rider,
and suffered a devastating loss of his own. Now he
operates a ranch as he struggles to raise his spirited but
troubled young daughter who, after a terrible night years
ago, fears the horses she once loved.
Within their
bittersweet private orbit, in the midst of the endless
silvered marshlands, Susannah Connolly will find a part of
herself she hadn’t known she had lost. And here she will
find herself embraced by a circle of strong and passionate
women bound together by their abiding faith in the
legendary slave-saint Susannah seeks and in the miracles
she is said to still perform for those who believe. Yet
old secrets swirl within the fog-shrouded landscape,
betrayals that may be beyond the power of any saint, or
supplicant, to repair.
