    "description": "<p>Meet Ella Turner and Isabelle du Moulin&mdash;two women born centuries apart, yet bound by a fateful family legacy. When Ella and her husband move to a small town in France, Ella hopes to brush up on her French, qualify to practice as a midwife, and start a family of her own. Village life turns out to be less idyllic than she expected, however, and a peculiar dream of the color blue propels her on a quest to uncover her family&rsquo;s French ancestry. As the novel unfolds&mdash;alternating between Ella&rsquo;s story and that of Isabelle du Moulin four hundred years earlier&mdash;a common thread emerges that unexpectedly links the two women. Part detective story, part historical fiction, The Virgin Blue is a novel of passion and intrigue that compels readers to the very last page.</p>",
