Journalist Katharine Gordon has carved
out a career on the front lines of war. In need of a rest, she takes an easy
magazine job, flying to exotic New Zealand to cover the America’s Cup
sailing races. There she encounters an unusual Maori-Scot entrepreneur, Lachlan Manutane. Both willful personalities,
Lan and Katharine quickly stun each other. They begin a
meaningful relationship which transcends the scars of their troubled pasts. Upon
befriending Lan’s Scottish mother, Mary, motherless Katharine is thrilled
to be treated as a daughter. But when Lan reveals an unsettling family
secret, Katharine steals away in
abject misery. Soon she has immersed her pained psyche in the
seething political
strife of another dangerous war. Lan eventually finds wounded
Katharine convalescing in New Zealand, and the two work their way through a
sometimes difficult but rich and colorful present.
