Field of Destiny Patricia Sheehy

What would you do for love? Every choice comes with a consequence. And every consequence leads us closer to -- or farther away from -- our desired destiny.

On a sweltering July afternoon, just days after her birth, Natalie Davenport's destiny is derailed by an impulsive act, thrusting her into a life of secrets, lies and betrayal. As Natalie struggles against her mother's deceit and demands, she finds herself torn between misguided loyalty and a desperate need for love and acceptance. Her decisions are often reckless, defying the "sacred contracts" she made before birth, and mirroring destructive patterns from her past life in France. Despite the challenges of her early years -- and her seemingly thwarted destiny -- fate steps in several times and offers Natalie a chance at happiness.

Set in New England against a backdrop of social and racial tension, this contemporary novel explores the spiritual themes of karma and free will, taking us to those precise moments of choice where a single decision has the power to change everything.
