A Bound Heart

In Laura Frantz's evocative tale, Magnus MacLeish, the laird of a Scottish castle, and Lark MacDougall, the keeper of his bees, face tragedy and turmoil after the sudden death of Magnus's wife. Accused of wrongdoing, they are expelled from their homeland and sold as indentured servants in the Virginia colony. Amidst a backdrop of love, exile, and the challenge of starting anew, their journey explores the resilience of the human spirit in Colonial America. Frantz's heartfelt prose draws from her own family history, bringing authenticity and emotional depth to their story.
