Publisher's Synopsis
Family, farming, and tradition meet a whole new generation of ambition and business acumen when the Reilly family welcomes Clarisse McAllister into their fold. A prodigy, a Lady Prodigy, this fiery young woman takes the world by storm, voraciously reading and learning everything she possibly can-all while balancing the demands of the family farm she has married into, her relationship with her husband, Sean, and the growing business ventures they've discovered and nurtured together. Surrounded by their farming community, Clarisse helps Sean build on the success he started cultivating at an early age. As they discover each other and the history of the land around them, their interests and adventures grow. With the friendship of their neighbours, Clarisse discovers the history of James Richardson (aka Black Arrow), the land and operation he created, and the world of academia and high-stakes business. As her responsibilities as a student, and teacher, at the University of Minnesota grow, Clarisse also finds herself delving further into the often dangerous realm of Military Research. While she deftly adapts to higher and higher positions in both fields, Clarisse and Sean find themselves living under the constant threat of corporate espionage, violence, and kidnapping-all while orchestrating the annual hay baling back on the farm. It's an unusual life, one only a Lady Prodigy could handle.
