Esme - Hardcover

by Davis (Author)

The fortuneteller's warning echoes in Sam Parker's dreams. "Your soulmate waits for you, Sam, but beware, your destiny requires sacrifice. You'll be forced to choose." After events in college leave Sam struggling to provide his son a stable and loving childhood amidst his wife's battles with mental illness and addiction, the years blur before him. He finds no time for his once-cherished fantasies.

When his son heads off to college, Sam retreats to Washington's Olympic Peninsula to escape his crumbling marriage and weary life. There, he finds her, in the most unlikely place-his kindred soul, fiery, bohemian Esme, a black blood Roma. She's been waiting for Sam to find her since childhood. They are together at last, yet, as forewarned, Sam must choose, his son or his heart's desire.

Esme is a story of family loyalty, passion, and loss, of promises made and broken. Full of hope and with magic and wonderment, this saga explores how fate steers destiny and asks, "What is the ultimate role of a soulmate?" A searing love story that lingers long after the final word, Esme affirms that while the path we tread may be fraught with difficulties, our journey leads not to the end but to a new beginning.
