Desolate Heart by Sidney Archer, a story of spurned, lost, and true love found. In the spirit of Somewhere In Time, this is the story of a love that surpasses time and triumphs against all odds. When a fiery mountain girl’s obsessive love is rejected by Andrew, a young medical student one hundred years ago, she demands the help of the local medicine woman, who is also known for dark sorcery. The curse is one of selfish revenge and dooms them both; the girl to her death, and Andrew to his exile – in a painting. Abbie, a successful defense attorney in our time, is disillusioned with her career and sets off to her friend’s home in the Ozark Mountains to sort out her life. In route, an unrelenting urge compels her to stop at a ramshackle roadside antique shop where she buys a mysterious painting; one that draws her into it, transporting her into Andrew’s existence. The key to their escape from this endless time in a bewitched painting is true love. Time, space, and a hundred-year spell will challenge and reinforce what is truly meant to be.
