Confronted with her own demise, Martha Rutledge (Avia) must reveal to her granddaughter how small and interconnected the world is, and what their responsibility is in preserving it. Avia spirits Tallis to the site of Azilum-colonial America's refuge for French Royalists. There, she tells the story of the second son of Marie Antoinette, Louis-Charles XVII. Smuggled from Temple Prison in Paris to the asylum along the Susquehanna River, he is raised by Jesuits along "The Great Warrior Path" to the Carolina Lowcountry. Grown, Charlie becomes an esteemed associate of the elite in Philadelphia when it is the site of America's capitol. Wynds Over Wylusing is Charlie's story. In 2001, scientific advances enable mtDNA testing to prove the remains in the Bourbon burial chapel to be those of Marie Antoinette's son. However, only the Rutledges have the final key to the puzzle and know the truth of the American connection to Louis-Charles XVII, which they are challenged to protect. The rest of the world continues to misrepresent Charlie's life based on a myriad of legends and false claims about the Bourbon heir. The delightful personalities in Wynds Over Wylusing will jump to life for readers amid panoramic scenery and revolutionary historical connections of early eastern United States and France from 1795 until the present and stay with them long after they have put the book down.
