The golden journey
Paul Devereaux, a brilliant young lawyer and an eloquent and persuasive speaker, becomes a frequent visitor at the Kirkland house and is offered an amazing opportunity in politics by his host--a chance far beyond his years and experience. As the center of the dramatic events that follow and of the beautiful love story that runs throughout the novel is Anne, Kirkland's only daughter--one of the most alluring young heroines in modern fiction. Each of these three is on a journey of self-discovery. For each the journey has its mirages, its changes of direction. What happens to them and to those whose lives cross theirs makes a story of compelling interest that speaks to the heart.
