Stevenson too is escaping from his life, running from family pressure to become a lawyer.While he perfects his craft as a writer, she becomes his protector and editor-collaborator, accompanying him across Europe and America and finally to Samoa in hopes of healing his weak lungs. An exhilarating epic about a free-spirited couple who traveled the world yet found home only in one another.
