"A must-read for history buffs and romantics."- US Review of BooksThe day after his grandfather's funeral, David Sumner saves a drowning boy, and his life will never be the same. From the beautiful family farm in Vermont to the alluring art world of New York City, the story follows David as he falls in love with the boy's mother, struggles with a glamorous-though-empty life in the city, and finally flees, desperate for a fresh start. But the tentative peace he's trying to carve out for himself hides painful memories and family secrets that reach back to World War II and stolen art during the Holocaust. Through endearing characters, Redeemed explores themes of loss, love, and redemption."This compelling family saga starts with a bang and keeps exploding like a string of fireworks...suspense, mystery...and just a touch of the supernatural." - Joseph A. Citro, author of Loose Ends, Passing Strange, and Shadow Child
