"She could use sanctuary...somewhere to rest." Morgan's characters
are real women; fallible, vulnerable people who refuse to call
themselves 'victim'. Letitia LeGrau is born aboard a small ship
while her parents are on their way to the upper Columbia River
region to Christianize the Indians. As the years pass, her parents
fall deeper and deeper into the morass some call 'prairie sickness'
and Lettie is burdened with more and more responsibilities. Moise
Stark is a scrawny kid of twelve when his father kills his Native
American mother and her unborn child and then sells Moise's little
sister to the Indian hunters; Moise to the slavers. An impulsive
move delivers Moise into the hands of a family hidden to the
world--keepers of a sacred pool of healing waters. Moise will spend
the next decade moving between the secreted family, the Catholic
mission, and his mother's own people as he searches for his sister,
for understanding, for peace. When he sees Letitia LeGrau dancing
in the moonlight he determines to make her his own. He does so and
together they create a haven of peace they call Eden. But a farming
accident robs Moise of his mobility. Lettie is forced to leave
their garden to work in a mining camp, and his father, still
wanting Moise dead, finds Eden. Set against the vivid backdrop of
the Pacific Northwest, Morgan again uses archaeologist Jill Reade
to paint a picture of a love that grows, flowers, and continues to
bloom long after the unimaginable has been forgotten.
