Produktbeschreibung

Kerry leaned forward, a serious expression stealing over her face. "Something told you? You mean like a calling sort of thing?"

How much does fate work in our lives? What part, if any, do our ancestral roots determine who we are?

Kerry Carter is on a mission to answer these questions. Prompted by her late father's unfinished research of lost family history, the young Social Studies teacher takes a year of absence to travel to England. It is a dual-purpose trip: tp gather classroom material for her focus on English culture and to search out her own bloodline.

Kerry's friends are skeptical, as Kerry has never traveled outside North Carolina. She's also known to be a bit of a klutz, both physically and socially. But Kerry is determined. She feels compelled, as if an important purpose is calling her from across the ocean.

Kerry's search leads her to wild and beautiful Cornwall, whose eighteenth-century history is ripe with smuggling and piracy. Could this dark and daring history be hers by way of her ancestors?

Along the way Kerry's strengths and weaknesses are tested, and this leads her to a deeper sense of self-awareness. She also finds friendships, adventure, intrigue...and Merrek Walles, a darkly handsome young Cornishman with an old soul. Their first encounter sparks a recognition of sorts, and their relationship quickly deepens. Together they uncover a two-hundred-year-old mystery and make an ancestral discovery that binds them even more.

But will history repeat itself and tear Kerry away from the man she loves and the family roots and homeland she has finally found?

Autorenporträt

Teresa McCoy is a retired primary school teacher who lives in Georgia with her husband, Doug, of over forty-five years. They have four children and eight grandchildren--a noisy and lively group on Thanksgiving. Teresa and Doug have spent years researching family history, starting in the 70's and 80's with microfilmed records in the University of Georgia Library. In recent years they visited the archives in Utah, used various genealogy websites, DNA testing, and have learned how to effectively search state courthouses and cemeteries. The discovery that they both have Scottish roots resulted in three trips to the United Kingdom. Both have become active members of the America Scottish Foundation as well as the Clan MacKay and Clan Gregor Societies of America and Scotland. Teresa's hobbies include writing, reading, gardening and travel, and she loves being with her grandchildren. She also enjoys spending time at their cabin in the woods of the North Georgia Mountains. Teresa is a member of The Reading Roadies, a traveling book club; and P.E.O. which provides scholarships for women worldwide. Both Doug and Teresa are avid University of Georgia football fans.
