CIRCLE TO PARIS – Book One 2022

Honora Blanche Favre had it all: Beauty, Brains, Friends, Family and Riches. Until one day Life slaps her down. Hard. She becomes a pariah, a loser overnight; even her parents are ashamed of her. Napoleon Bonaparte’s revolutionary system of education created more than 100 years before Honora was born, makes her into a failure at the tender age of 18. She is powerless to change it. The belle femme is exiled forever from the only thing she has ever worked for – her education and going to a prestigious University, as all her friends are doing. In a panic, She bolts from her family and her life in Paris – escaping to the Normandy countryside. While traveling through Normandy’s ancient, spectacular places like le Bec-Hellouin and Mont Saint Michel, Honora is pulled into a cyclone of romance, intrigue, danger and personal achievement. Honora finds something deep inside of herself: courage, self-love and self-determination. She realizes there is a survivor living inside of her. A fighter. A tenacious girl that just won’t give up on herself and those she loves.

The Circle is complete when a shocking turn of events compels Honora to return to Paris – although no longer a failure, nor a burden, nor a victim. She returns triumphant and independent to face a future that she has never imagined – carrying the promise of a new life inside her, taking charge of her parent’s law firm administration and becoming the stalwart of her family, as they face accusations that could destroy everything that the Favres have worked for all their lives.

Sometimes  imperceptible forces moving throughout the Universe create life currents to direct certain individuals or even families along a common path. That is precisely what happens to Honora Favre and Madeleine Dubois von Beck Favre. Two women living in Paris separated by a 75 year time period who will never meet each other, but remain nevertheless intimately connected. Both beautiful, conflicted and desirable women struggle through their own purgatory of misery, danger and disappointments that would make most people give up on life. Along the way, each of our heroines encounters people that risk their own lives to love them and help them along the way. As they come near the end of their respective journeys, Honora and Madeleine hardly recognize the person staring back in the mirror. They are transformed.
