Love covers a multitude of sins. This page-turning historical novel set in the mid-1800s is a story of love, lies, and deceit-all for the sake of saving a life. In the dawn hours, a light-brown young woman hides from her master in a big oak tree. But there is no escaping him. Nine months later, she stands at the edge of an ocean cliff with a newborn baby wrapped in her arms. Her master sits on a horse watching her with a rifle in his hand, his intentions clear. This is the poignant story of a woman who has grown up thinking the parents who raised her were her biological parents. But her true identity has long been a family secret kept by those who love her, and her real father does not know that she survived the untimely death he had planned for her so long ago.
