This is the story of twin girls separated at birth (in a unique way). Aurora (Rory) was raised by a childless couple in America. Shannon was raised by her vicar-stepfather in England. He beats and sexually abuses Shannon until she winds up in Newgate Prison for murdering him.
Shannon's sentence was commuted to impressment in the American colonies. There, she meets Brandon Fleming. Brandon is married to Aurora and they had a child named Clare. Then Rory ran away with Brandon's brother. But of course, Rory comes back to mete out more misery to all who know her.
***SPOILER ALERT *** There were too many coincidences to make this story ring true. Also, Shannon seemed to have no difficulty entering into a physical relationship with Brandon (after the years of abuse by her vicar-stepfather). With her strict church upbringing, Shannon had no qualms about starting a physical relationship outside marriage. On the other hand, the love scenes were so boring, I skipped them.
