The sequel to the award-winning, historical romance novel Shaman is here: The Passage Picking up the story where Shaman ended, The Passage continues the saga of Dr. Matt Tyler and Degan, the Seneca woman whose life he saved. In the spring of 1869, Dr. Matt Tyler has returned to his home in Washington from the Allegheny Reservation with Degan and their young son, Adam, to begin their life together as a family. But Matt soon discovers a long-held family secret that upends his world and threatens the Tyler family legacy. As Degan tries to adjust to her new life in the affluent surroundings of the well-to-do of the Victorian Era, her bond with Matt is tested again and again through struggle and unspeakable tragedy. In rich detail from new settings across the globe, new characters — as well as familiar and beloved characters from Shaman — all play against the backdrop of the epic love story of Matt and Degan. From Washington, the seat of power in America, to the wealthy neighborhoods of London, to the tropical shores of Cape Palmas in West Africa, The Passage continues the poignant and inspiring story of great love that transcends cultural differences and intolerance.
