Summary
A return to Seagull’s Perch is the last thing Angelique intended to do, but the request from her great-great-grandmother to be there to celebrate her 105th birthday could not be ignored.
Arriving home with her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Angelique is faced with her mother, whom she hasn’t spoken to in three years. Also entering back into her life is her ex-fiance seeking forgiveness and hoping to become a part of her and her daughter’s life.
Angelique seeks to reconcile the past so she can move forward with her future. Her great-great-grandmother is aware that time for her is running out. The family all gather to listen to Varvara telling her story—a colorful history of events spanning more than ten decades—beginning with her birth in Russia, to her life on an estate in France, and finally to the present, living on the shores of Rhode Island.
Turning Point is an intimate look into one woman’s life—a compelling tale of love, loss, joy and sorrow. Through her faith and courage, Angelique overcomes many obstacles, and in the end this strong, courageous woman’s love binds five generations of family together.
