May Howell Beecher takes us on a rollercoaster of intense feelings of joy, love, sorrow, and death in a novel that will have you on the edge of your seat more often than not. The story follows a girl, Sara, born in peculiar circumstances who would grow to possess, quite literally, murderous beauty. There's no doubt that, if this book was published today, it would be an international best-seller. "Only one child -a girl- shall gladden your heart, and she might better remain unborn than to suffer all that fate holds in store for her. Though blameless, yet shall she be cursed." "For even as a baby she seemed to bewitch men, and it was sickening to hear some folks rave over her beauty, which would most likely be the ruin of her." "The angel said to the young man "Brother, today we shall lodge with Raguel who is thy cousin; he hath also one only daughter named Sara; I will speak for her that she may be given thee for a wife." Then the young man answered the angel, "I have heard, brother Azarius, that the maid hath been given to seven men who all died in the marriage chamber." What will happen with Sara's eighth marriage? Will the curse ever be lifted? And how can such a bliss as beauty become a life-threatening curse? Read this timelessly breathtaking novel to find out!
