Storks in a Blue Sky is a historical romance set in England and France in the 18th century. The beautiful red-haired Sarah Durrant is an uneducated servant whose mistress suddenly dies at Lynmouth as they are travelling across the remote wilderness of Exmoor. Her origins are a mystery. She only knows she is illegitimate and possesses a gold locket which contains a miniature of a woman who resembles her. North Devon at first proves a sanctuary from the violence of her past, but then the French aristocrat, Jean Luc de Delacroix, a soldier and scientist, arrives from the New World en route to Alsace; the local activities of smuggling and wrecking surface; and her life becomes a tangle of love, deception and fear.
