Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:With a wife he loves and an exciting London-based career, architect Charles Waterston's life seems in perfect balance. Nothing in his comfortable existence prepares him for the sudden end to his ten-year marriageâ??or his unwanted transfer to his firm's New York office. With nothing left to lose, Charlie takes a leave of absence from his job to drive through New England, hoping to make peace with himself.

Christmas is approaching when Charlie leaves New York, heading to Vermont to ski. But a sudden, blinding snowstorm strands him in a small Massachusetts town. There, as if by chance, Charlie meets an elderly widow who offers to rent him her most precious possession: a remote, exquisite lakeside chateau. Hidden deep in the woods, it once belonged to a woman who lived and died there two centuries before. Her name was Sarah Ferguson. And from the moment Charlie sets foot inside the chateau's graceful depths, he feels her presence, and longs to know more about the life she led.

It is Christmas Eve when Charlie first glimpses her, a beautiful young woman with jet black hair. He thinks it is a neighbor playing a joke on him, until he finds her diaries hidden away in an old trunk. As he begins to turn the brittle, dusty pages, Sarah Ferguson comes alive. Intrigued and unafraid, Charlie immerses himself in the diaries, eager to learn more about the woman for whom the house was built. Sarah's first entry is dated 1789, the year she arrived in America. Without self-pity or sentiment, she writes of her harrowing journey from her native England, having fled the brutality of her aristocratic husband. Settling in Massachusetts, Sarah finds an unfamiliar land seething with the turbulence of the Indian wars. Determined to start a new life in the vast new world, Sarah finds freedomâ??and dangerâ??as she builds her home in the wilderness and meets a man who will transform her life. His name is François de Pellerin, a French nobleman adopted by Indians and drawn into the battle for the growing nation. Their fateful union is a testament to a love so powerful it reaches across the centuries. And for Charlie Waterston, caught between Sarah's world and his own, their story is a giftâ??one that gives him the courage to let go of his past, and the freedom to grasp a future that is right be

So sad...this story took a bit out of me.

Update 6/22/2019:
The last time I read this story I was bawling at the end and it has taken me maybe 13+ years to have the strength to re-read, and again I'm bawling. I can't seem to stop thinking about the story. I think this will be one of those stories that will always affect me emotionally each time I read it and once years has passed I will desire to read and re-live it again. ( )

It switched between the contemporary story of Charles Waterston. Charlie's wife has left him, he is transferred to a job he hates in New York. Charlie takes a leave of absence and drives through New England. As a snow storm builds he stops in a small town in Massachusetts. There he meets an elderly widow who befriends him. He rents a house that had been built for a woman named Sarah Ferguson. He finds her diaries and learns her story.

Sarah Ferguson flees her abusive husband in England to come to America. Sarah survives the dangerous trip across the sea and builds in America. We meet Francois de Pellerin, a French nobleman. Francois had lived among the Indians. They face the Indian Wars.

I really enjoyed both story lines.

Charles meets Monique and her mother Francesca. ( )

This book was terrible. If it wasn't for my inability to not finish a book I would have thrown it out of the window. None of the characters were well developed, they whined constantly and the repetitiveness. Oh my god the repetitiveness!

On page 300 I do not need to be told that the mc is upset because his wife left him - I learned that on page 1. There was nothing left to common sense or the imagination. I don't like it when a writer treats me like I have the attention span of a gnat.

Someone told me that this was the best Danielle Steele book. If this is the best, I don't even want to think about what the other books are like! ( )

It is a fun book and a quick read, though very predictable. It is a story within a story. The main character finds a journal written in the 1700s by a woman named Sara. I really like the story of Sara. (However it does annoy me that Sara's journal was written as a novel and not in the first person.) ( )
