The Forever Girl is a romantic, unsparing, and authentic novel of the destruction of the ancient cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum is a modern scientific take on works such as Bulwer-Lytton's THE LAST DAYS OF POMPEII.
Young Kara is taken into captivity after Roman legionaries and their allies overrun her Rhine River village. Within the space of a few months, she goes from cherished daughter of loving parents to an orphaned and exploited Roman slave. At the age of eight, she is cast adrift in a culture that has little regard for human life-especially a slave's life. But Kara has one asset: Her mane of golden blond hair keeps her alive because of its value in producing the wigs favored by fashionable Roman ladies. Kara is purchased by Agrippina, the wife of the powerful Senator Titus Clodius Eprius Marcellus, for precisely this purpose. As she grows older, Kara is tasked with attending her wealthy Roman family's prized grandson and heir, Justus. Because Kara loves the babe, she is filled with pleasure in this charge. This wins her the love of Marcus, the child's father, but also the hatred of Agrippina, who schemes to consign Kara to a brothel. On the day the fateful eruption occurs, it is the infant Justus Kara risks her life to protect.
