"A tragic love story about choices made that will haunt the reader long after the story has been read."---Alice DiNizo, Readers' Favorite

In a mythical, medieval seacoast realm, a poignant struggle for love is born when Collie and Dugan break the barriers of society to pursue a forbidden relationship. Collie is the middle-class daughter of a tinker. Dugan is the lower-class son of a powerful, yet evil man. Collie's mother wants her to marry the blacksmith, Arrick. Dugan's father expects him to embrace the family business. Collie hopes Dugan will give up his dreams of being a fisherman and become a proper suitor. Dugan feels bound to the sea. But the sea is a jealous mistress and one fateful night changes everything.

The first book in Collie Tinker's journey of self-discovery, "Hope Flies on Broken Wings" is a gritty and often heart-wrenching tale of youthful rebellion and unintended consequences. Not recommended for young readers.
