Publisher's Summary

Lucinda longs for intimacy, her natural desire to be embraced often commanding her attention. Her attempts to satisfy are hampered by the scar. She is fearful of love, and in turn, fearful of happiness in this world.

Having lived most of her young adult life in the shadow of a dark secret, the prospect of happiness remains a distant hope. Until July 4, 1840, when the chance encounter with an intriguing young gentleman begins to reshape her world.

On the evening of the Sturgeon Moon, after a night of dance, Lucinda is lifted from the darkness, her life changed evermore.

As summer wanes, the evil that dwells dormant within the depths of her soul, reemerges. In desperation, on November 4, 1840, she sits to pen a letter of distress titled "Happiness", her hope for love seemingly lost forever.

A pause-resisting romance, steeped in historical facts, the Summer of 1840 evocatively reminds us that our distant past is not so distant at all.
