The Storm - E-book - ePub

When a hurricane threatens the only home she has ever known, a girl and her grandmother must work together to save what they can. During the storm they take refuge in a cave, as the island suffers a direct hit from the storm. She and her grandmother form a bond and her grandmother shares stories of her life in Scotland, before they came to the island. They are alone on the island for weeks waiting on the girl's father and his men to return.
The aftermath of the storm forces the girl to leave her home and relocate to the American colonies. She lands in Georgetown, South Carolina, the first city she has ever visited. Left alone with family she just met and in a strange new world that is so different from the island where she had spent her whole life, she finds a new life. Ten years later, while living in the North Carolina mountains, she must face another type of storm that will be much harder to survive, the American Revolution.
Now as a wife and mother, she faces the destruction of the life she has built in this new land and losing more of the people she loves. This storm may prove much harder to survive than the hurricane she faced so many years ago. ---"Stephanie Albright will leave readers holding their breath, waiting in anticipation for what will happen next.
