title: Winter in a Dark Land
author: Lynch, Miriam
description: Lorena Talborne had crossed the ocean in 1769 to marry a man she had never seen and to live in a land she did not know. She came to Boston from England, holding fast to the promise of a secure life in the new world, but instead she found herself caught up in the passionate conflicts of a city on the threshold of rebellion.
  
  The first shock came when Lorena was abducted by a masked band of bold Colonists. Her second, when she fell in love--not with Kendall Bradlee, the man her father had chosen to be her husband, but with his swashbuckling brother David, who seemed captivated by another woman, the beautiful widow of a British nobleman. Her third, when she realized that she was surrounded by deception in a city simmering with defiance. Which side was she on--England's or America's? Would David Bradlee silently watch while she married his haughty brother?
  
  Lorena was alone and afraid, but knew that she must make her own decisions, or be lost in the tide of violence sweeping over the land.
