Vivid and enthralling, Island of the Doves tells the
story of a courageous woman who is desperate for freedom and of those who will
risk everything to help her.
Susannah Fraser lives in
one of Buffalo’s finest mansions, but her monstrous husband makes the home a
terrible prison. When a local nun offers to help her escape, Susannah boards a
steamship headed for Mackinac Island and a chance at freedom.
Magdelaine Fonteneau has
seen her share of tragedy—a husband murdered before her eyes, two sisters
lost—and she sees offering Susannah refuge in her island home as atonement for
her many regrets. This act of kindness changes Susannah in ways she never could
have imagined as she finds solace in the company of others who carry their own
secrets and scars. Only together can they untangle their pasts—and find a
future bright with the promise of new life.
