Light at Lavelle -- Paullina Simons, Paperback

In a world between wars, hardship and heartache bind a Ukrainian woman and an American man in this epic love story from the bestselling author of The Bronze Horseman.

It is 1929, and on both sides of the Atlantic, the world is about to change.

Isabelle Lazar, a young Ukrainian farmer, fights to save her family as the dark shadow of the Soviet Union falls over her ancestral land. Forced to flee and barely escaping the Terror-Famine which swallows millions of her countrymen, she washes up alone on America's distant shores, carrying the weight of her lost past and uncertain future.

In Boston, Isabelle crosses paths with Finn Evans, a successful banker, whose affluent, contented life is about to be shattered by the stock market crash.
Fate throws Finn and Isabelle together just as America plunges into the Great Depression. Amid the trials and struggles of their new life, an undeniable connection--that they both must hide--grows between the unlikely pair.

As their intertwined destinies hang in the balance, they discover that even amidst great tragedy there is always something left to fight for. In Light at Lavelle, bestselling author Paullina Simons weaves an unforgettable tapestry of love, hope, and fate, showing us that sometimes the greatest battles are fought within our own hearts.
