First Novel in the St. Simons Trilogy
A compelling, vibrant saga of conflict, love, and a young man's search
to fulfill his dreams.
In this enthralling first novel of the St. Simons Trilogy, Eugenia Price
shares the compelling story of James Gould, a young man with a
passionate dream. Raised in post-Revolution Granville, Massachusetts,
Gould could only imagine the beauty and warmth of lands to the south. It
was there that he longed to build bridges and lighthouses from his very
own design and plans. The gripping story unfolds as Gould follows his
dream to the raw settlement of Bangor on the Penobscot River, to St.
Simons Island off the coast of Georgia, to lawless Spanish East Florida,
and back--at last and finally--to St. Simons. Along the way, he
encounters hardship, peril, failure, and success, but it is the
unwavering love of Janie Harris, an especially beautiful and
strong-willed young woman, that fulfills his deep need for someone who
can share the dream and the life he has chosen.
