Fields Above the Sea

Description:

A GLOWING DESTINY LED THEM - TO THE EDGE OF A CONTINENT AND THE CREST OF A DREAM. LUCIUS HARGRAVE shared the birth pangs of an ambitious city--he would reach for power, but gain wealth instead. And yearning for the return of a long-vanished father, he would lose his most precious possession, his own son. For JUSTIN HARGRAVE defies his father by pursuing both his bold career as a journalist and the love of his spirited cousin MARTHA...Martha, whose mother CATHERINE was desired by Lucius, and whose secret parentage haunts more than one Hargrave marriage. Now the sins of the past will bring both the cruel punishment and unexpected redemption to this newest generation of Hargraves--and to Lucius, who will once more leave for a land far away to seek the dancing phantom of a father never known. Final volume in a 3-vol. set following the Hargrave family from the banks of the post-Civil War Mississippi across the United States in the great Westward migration, all the way to Spanish California. In Fields Above the Sea, set on San Francisco's golden shore, old dreams dim, but new passions came alive....
