The Lost Prince - Paperback

by Selden Edwards (Author)

"The Lost Prince can stand independently of The Little Book ... but why deprive yourself of the pleasures of reading both?" --Booklist

Recently returned from fin de siècle Vienna, where she tragically lost the first great love of her life, Eleanor Burden settles into her expected place in Boston society, marries a suitable husband, and waits for life to come to her. Eleanor's story is not unlike that of the other young women she grew up with in 1890's Boston, except for one difference: Eleanor believes herself to have advance knowledge of every major historical event to come in her lifetime. But soon Eleanor's script of events begins to unravel, and she must find the courage of her deepest convictions, discover the difference between predetermination and free will, find faith in her own sanity, and decide whether she will allow history to unfold come what may -- or use her extraordinary gifts to bend history and deliver the life she is meant to have.
