Véronique's Journey

In 18th century France, the choices for a young black woman of modest means are slim.

Véronique Clair loves her parents and their small home in the countryside of Burgundy but dreams of using her talent for sewing and embroidery to make her own way, without having to rely on a man.

When Véronique's well-meaning parents find her a suitor of elevated station their happiness turns into her despair. Veronique must make the difficult choice between agreeing to an arranged marriage--with its promise of elevated status in society--or embark upon an unpredictable journey across France and into a world she's never known.

...for a young woman of honor, only the heart can guide the way.
