Publisher's Summary:
Damned by leprosy, Richard FitzEustace must leave his home and family forever. Condemned to shun the company of others he seeks a place of solitude where he can find forgiveness for sins committed in the Holy Land. One more family obligation remains: a secret promise to his grandmother that he will seek out her kinsman, Sir Robert de Lcy, and press her claim to his estate. Meanwhile, headstrong young Johanna FitzEustace, is distraught. With Richard gone the other brother, ruthless and ambitious Roger, becomes head of the family. A marriage is contrived for her to a wealthy old landowner, and without Richards protection there seems little she can do about it unless she can escape and find him wherever he may be.

3.5 stars. It was an interesting read and it seems to be historically correct per the author's quite good notes. I do enjoy her books about the DeLacy's and their place in history although The Lady of Haigh remains my favorite.
The subject matter was serious, but perhaps a lighter touch for Richard and Joanna would have worked better, for me at least. They seemed to vacillate a great deal in their moods. The author's note seems to allude to Johanna as having descendants; I would like to hear about that.
Elizabth Ashworth is a fine chronicler of the De Lacy family and has a great website for perusing
Who is the intended audience?
I started out loving this book and certain I would read all of the author's published works, particularly as they relate to Magna Carta. About halfway-thru, however, I began to wonder who the readership should be? With its sweet, simple prose, nonexistent violence, and young protagonist Johanna, by the end of the novel I wondered if the correct audience shouldn't be Middle Graders (10-14 yrs old)?
Great read!
the de Lacy family is in my ancestry, I and I was very excited to read a fictionalized account of them. Elizabeth Ashworth is a fantastic writer and she really pulls you into the time period, which is the main goal of any historical fiction author! She clearly has done a lot of research on her subject. Thoroughly enjoyed this and look forward to more books my Ms. Ashworth.
Faith, Hope and Devotion have just rewards!
This is such a precious story that it will touch your soul. With a very strong God influence showing devotion and what prayer and strong faith can do to give you great hope.
Richard FitzEustace was in the Holy Land fighting with his King for a just cause. A little indiscretion with a woman whom should be considered in all respects as a party of the enemy leaves Richard a leper and the King sends him home to suffer with his affliction.
Richard for all cause is considered dead by the church and is to be shunned by all. Only God will be his companion now and a strong sense of faith, devotion, and consistent prayer can absolve his sins before he is called to his maker.
Richard's grandmother asks a boon of her grandson for she is not afraid of what he has and he sets off to the de Lacy lands in search of a one last wish that he will be able to try and fulfill before his end. He finds upon the de Lacy lands people of more courage and kindness that he could ever hope for.
