Newly reissued to coincide with the publication of A CHRISTMAS WISH, TILTING AT WINDMILLS invites reader to rediscover the wondrous world of the windmill. Like watching a favorite old movie, you’ll be glad to return to Linden Corners…
A lyrical tale of love and loss, here is the epic journey—through the joys and tears of a life renewed, one that chronicles an unexpected love.
At thirty-four, Brian Duncan has it all. The trendy Manhattan life, a fast-track job, a gorgeous fiancée. Then, in a single moment of deception, Brian’s world crumbles. On a whim, he tosses caution the wind—as well as the life he knows—and embarks on a personal journey with more twists than the road. Brian finds himself in the Hudson River Valley, and as he crests over a hill he cannot help but come upon the sight of the giant windmill, its slowly turning sails transfixing in their beauty. And running down the hill is a lovely little girl, her hair floating in the wind. Her name is Janey, and she and her quietly alluring other, Annie, who owns the windmill, strikes a chord in Brian’s heart.
It is a turning point in Brian’s life, as he finds the small-town charms of Linden Corners comforting. He stays a day, and then another, and before long he has become another resident of this sleepy little world. Is it the windmill that has inspired him, or Annie Sullivan, whose elusive quality matches Brian’s own questions about life? For both of them, for Janey, too, life will never be the same.
