A Love Story for the Ages

Jenny Peterson drives off into the night, fleeing from her abusive husband. But halfway into the sparsely inhabited expanse of Montana’s Paradise Valley, her car’s engine dies. Fearing that her husband might be close behind her, she is on the verge of despair when she spots a dirt road leading up into a wooded glen. Hoping to find help, she ascends the road. Ian O’Connell is a well-known author who, weary of the modern world, bought that glen and built a self-sustaining house within it. It is there that he provides shelter for Jenny, enables her extraordinary talent as a painter to flourish, and fights off her husband’s two murderous attacks. This story is about two complete strangers who are thrown together solely by chance. And from that random event, a rare and fervent love evolves. A love which Aristotle described as “One soul inhabiting two individuals.”
