- Synopsis
- How far would you go? How much would you risk?Hailey MacIntyre seems conjured from the depths of Samuel Fiddes&’s loneliness. Caring for his young sister in the tenements of Glasgow, Scotland, Samuel has known only hunger, while Hailey has never known want. Yet, when Samuel saves Hailey&’s brother from a runaway carriage, their connection is undeniable.Through secret meetings and stolen moments, their improbable love grows. But then the City of Glasgow Bank fails, and Hailey&’s bankrupt father impulsively moves their family across the globe to Seattle, a city rumored to have coal in its hills and easy money for anyone willing to work for it.Samuel is haunted by Hailey&’s parting words: Remember, Washington Territory. Armed only with his wits, he determines to follow her, leaving behind everything he has ever known in search of Hailey and the chance of a better life for his sister. But the fledgling town barely cut out of the wilderness holds its own secrets and will test them all in ways unimaginable.Poignant and lyrical, A Wild and Heavenly Place is an ode to the Pacific Northwest, to those courageous enough to chase the American Dream, and to a love so powerful it endures beyond distance, beyond hope.
