A
heartfelt, layered novel that traces the centuries-old intertwined
histories of three Alexandria, Virginia bloodlines. Stretching from 18th century to present day,
The View from Prince Street begins with Faith Shire’s chilling
arrival at Patience Macdonald’s farmhouse door in 1751. Soon after, a
dangerous barter is arranged that will affect all three clans for
centuries to come.
This novel explores the question: what boundaries will a mother cross to protect her child? It’s a theme that will arise over and over as the generations progress, and as each family discovers new secrets, and the strange and surprising ties that bind them together. Gorgeously written Southern fiction in the tradition of Karen White's Tradd Street novels, The View from Prince Street is the sequel to At the Corner of King Street and is set in the same world as The Union Street Bakery and Sweet Expectations.
