Publisher's summary

The year is 1771. Claire Randall is still an outlander, out of place and out of time. But now she is linked by love to her only anchor: Jamie Fraser. They have crossed oceans and centuries to build a life together in North Carolina. But tensions, both ancient and recent, threaten members of their clan.

Knowing that his wife has the gift of prophecy, James must believe Claire, though he would prefer not to. Claire has shared a dreadful truth: there will, without a doubt, be a war. Her knowledge of the oncoming revolution is a flickering torch that may light his way through perilous years ahead - or ignite a conflagration that will leave their lives in ashes.

Great continuation of a wonderful story!

Would you listen to The Fiery Cross again? Why?

I'm already on my second go round. Great story. I laugh and I cry. Davina Porter lends a wonderful bit of extra to this already great story.

What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?

I love everything about Davins Porter's reading of this story. She adds so much feeling and I love that she can pronounce everything!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Several moments moved me. One of my favorite things about books is that your imagination can just run wild. I have laughed so hard that I have attracted unintended attention and cried so hard that I have had to move to a private location.
Wonderful story. I really want to love and be loved as the stars of this story do and are.

Any additional comments?

Read it, read it, read it! It's worth every single minute.

Thrust Back in Time

While the romance and adventures of a headstrong woman of modern time and that of a family traditional Scott from a Era of hardships can keep your head spinning, the desire to be there and live it......... Please send me through the stones.
