Description
A return to Seagull’s Perch is the last thing Angelique intended to do, but the request from her great-great-grandmother to be there to celebrate her 105th birthday could not be ignored. Arriving home with her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, she’s faced with her mother, whom she hasn’t spoken to in three years. Also entering back into her life is her ex-fiancé seeking forgiveness and to become a part of her and her daughter’s life. Angelique seeks to reconcile the past so she can move forward with her future. Her great-great-grandmother is aware that for her time is running out. The family all gather to listen to Varvara telling her story. She delivers a colorful history of events that spans over ten decades. Beginning with her birth in Russia, to her life on an estate in France, and finally to the present, living on the shores of Rhode Island. Turning Point is an intimate look into one woman’s life. A compelling tale of love, loss, joy, and sorrow. Through her faith and courage she overcomes many obstacles. In the end, this strong and courageous woman’s love bonds five generations of family together.
