Synopsis

Can she hold on to hope? Louisa Jamison is drowning in grief after the loss of her parents when she makes a staggering discovery: her long-lost sister Valerie is alive in the distant past. Louisa knows she will go anywhere to find the only family she has left. Leaving all she knows behind, Louisa follows the clues and embarks on a perilous journey into the seventeenth century. It's an unfamiliar era, fraught with danger, and she grapples with both the strange customs and the unexpected connection she feels towards noble sea captain Kit, who becomes her anchor in the storm. But as their passion grows, it forces Louisa to make an agonizing choice. Should she stay with Kit and abandon her mission? Or leave him behind to complete her desperate quest and find her sister before she loses her forever? Two sisters, two timelines, and an incredible story of courage, sacrifice and romance. A Leap of Faith will transport readers who love Diana Gabaldon, Barbara Erskine and Susanna Kearsley into a world of history and intrigue.
