EBOOK Leap the Wild Water

Megan Jones longs for autonomy in a society where, because she is a woman, every aspect of her life is constrained by religion and tradition. Marriage offers the only escape from the misery and drudgery of her life under the thumb of an overbearing and demanding mother. Her desperation to marry leads her down a dangerous road of deception with tragic consequences. When her childhood sweetheart, Eli, returns six years later and proposes, Megan accepts but does not tell him about the baby which was stolen away by her brother and housed with a woman who takes in 'bastard' children. Megan's past begins to catch up with her as her brother Morgan, tormented by his conscience, desperately tries to make amends for the terrible wrong he has done. But the very act of making amends would expose Megan and bring ruin on her. From shifting viewpoints, the stories of Megan and Morgan unfold towards a terrifying conclusion.
