Publisher's Synopsis
Two young people, Harold and Hannah coming from entirely different worlds met. And they fell in love. This book fills out the telling of their story which we first read of in 'Voyage of Abigail.'
Harold Whitmore is running away from his vision of what life will be if he remains at home and marries his childhood sweetheart. His desire to have one last go at adventure, and his growing doubts that his love for the girl is as real and as strong as everyone else in his life perceives it to be.
The chance to become the cook on a lighter than air ship on its maiden voyage promises the adventure he seeks. He has no clue that this voyage will lead him to the girl who is meant to be the real love of his life.
Hannah is a nurse in a small hospital on a previously undiscovered island in the mid-Atlantic. An island and a people who have not previously been known by those living in the Western Hemisphere.
She sees her life, and her future consisting of nothing but a long series of sameness. Day after day until she would grow old and nothing more would be her lot.
Hannah discovers that a man, looking quite different from her and from a world she has never heard of before, but who is now her patient will be the one she has dreamed of since girlhood.
That is, if she does not allow the fear of what happened to her sister cause her to miss taking a chance on love.
