An ambitious young lawyer rises from humble beginnings in Virginia. Love and political intrigue pull him between loyalty and power. Will his dreams cost him everything he holds dear?Set in early 19th-century Virginia, Lewis Rand follows the journey of a young lawyer whose ambition drives him from modest origins to the heights of political influence. As Lewis navigates a world of power, romance, and betrayal, he faces intense conflicts between his ideals and desires. Mary Johnston presents a vivid historical novel exploring the American spirit, ambition, and the personal costs of striving for greatness.Written in 1908 by classic American novelist Mary Johnston, Lewis Rand features characters drawn with wonderful psychological penetration. Set amid the splendid chaos of the Jeffersonian era, where the great men of the day -- from Jefferson himself to Aaron Burr and many others -- take stage, it is nonetheless a personal character study of one man driven by the will to succeed. Lewis Rand is truly a high point in Johnston’s oeuvre.
