Summary:

Brought up on her family's "great epic tales of war and adventure, love and murder, violence and redemption", Janice Woods Windle searched for the sources that could tell her the truth about the extraordinary women whose blood flowed through her veins. What she discovered was more dramatic still, and from those tales she has crafted a breathtaking work of historical fiction about two dynastic lines, the King and Woods families -- the story of the true women of Seguin, and the giants whose destinies touched their lives.
