A Tale of Love and Loss in Otsego Valley
A dramatic 1854 colonial saga follows Frederick Da Costa, West Indian heir, as he returns from England to a New York frontier town. He learns Josefa, his betrothed, has eloped with a stranger, shatters his plans for a tranquil home, and wanders the world seeking purpose before a chance meeting with a wounded village girl reopens a path to belonging.
