Set in late nineteenth and early twentieth‑century Boston, A Prologue to Love traces three generations of the Ames family as they wrestle with ambition, love, and the allure of wealth.

Through richly drawn characters and compassionate insight, the novel examines how obsession with fortune can devastate relationships and how, ultimately, reflection on one’s beginnings can offer hope for redemption.
