Synopsis

Set in pre-Revolutionary America, Remember the Morning tells the story of Catalyntie Van Vorst, the first in a long line of strong-minded women in the Stapleton lineage. A brilliant businesswoman, as were many of the Dutch of her era, Catalyntie is also a troubled person who struggles to resolve the conflicts created by growing up captive in a Seneca Indian village. Deeply involved in her life is the beautiful, extraordinarily gifted black woman, Clara Flowers, who shared this captivity with Catalyntie. They also share a love for the same man.

Review

"Powerful storytelling with the skills of a superb historian...a rich, exciting, and involving tale of colonial America that proves all over again how good Fleming is. Bravo!" --John Jakes "Fleming's in-depth knowledge of the period and the culture, his ability to separate the myth from reality, all help you discover the very essence of what it means to be an American." --Margaret Truman "Fleming has performed a masterly feat in combining history with a compelling narrative." --Lucy Kavaler, author of "Heroes and Lovers"
