Joanne Kiersarsky Guides Readers Through Love, War, and Fate in “A Trail to Love”

Returning to the London Book Fair this spring, The Maple Staple Bookstore will showcase “A Trail to Love,” by Joanne Kiersarsky, at Booth 6A100. Set in the early 1800s, the novel immerses readers in a world of love, loyalty, and the enduring power of hope amid war and personal sacrifice.

Inspired by the sweeping historical events of the post-Napoleonic era, “A Trail to Love” follows West Point graduate John Richards and socialite Felicity Wynngate. Their secret marriage defies her father's wishes and triggers a cascade of unforeseen challenges. From fleeing Philadelphia to navigating mistaken reports of John's death at the Battle of New Orleans, the couple faces separation, danger, and heartbreak. Kiersarsky's narrative skillfully blends historical accuracy with emotional depth, creating a gripping story of love tested by fate.

Through the story of John and Felicity, Kiersarsky explores perseverance, courage, and the enduring bonds of love, crafting characters whose trials resonate across time. The novel captures the stakes of war, the perils of misfortune, and the hope that guides lovers back together on the ultimate trail to love.

Born and raised in Maryland, Joanne Kiersarsky now divides her time between her winter home in Naples, Florida, and her beloved East Coast surroundings. A mother of four and grandmother of six (plus six beloved “grand pups”), she draws inspiration from walks along the beach, collecting seashells she transforms into delicate floral art. Her passion for storytelling turns everyday experiences into rich historical worlds filled with memorable characters and compelling adventures.

Visitors can explore “A Trail to Love” at the London Book Fair 2026 through The Maple Staple Bookstore at Booth 6A100, discovering a story where passion and perseverance illuminate the ultimate trail to love.
