About
The story of a Boston heiress who wishes for nothing-except happiness-by a New York Times–bestselling author who "never falters when it comes to storytelling" (Publishers Weekly).
Caroline Ames is rich beyond imagining. But after a childhood with a cold, rejecting father, she is irrationally terrified of poverty, seething with hostility, and incapable of giving or receiving love. Those who cross her path tend to find themselves at the very least suffering, if not thoroughly broken.
A Prologue to Love introduces three generations of the Ames family during the Gilded Age and the early twentieth century-painting a compassionate portrait of a difficult woman, those who have hurt her, and those she has hurt. It is a vivid, profoundly moving novel that explores the damage that everyday evil can do-and what it takes to overcome it.
