    About this ebook

    Oberon - previously published in print as Homecoming.

    A dazzling story that starts on a pristine island paradise in the Chesapeake Bay, then takes us to the glitter of Hollywood, then the sedate offices of a New York newspaper to Washington D.C.'s corridors of power. A tale vast in scope and rich in character, is guaranteed to hold readers spellbound.

    Like all the Hamiltons before her, Sydney Hamilton was born on Oberon Island. The island in the Chesapeake Bay stood witness to a family history that dated back to colonial America. Oberon held all the enchanted memories of childhood. In 1948, as 21-year-old Wellesley student, Sydney meets struggling actor Jordan Eliot. Casting aside her own ambitions -- her legacy to one of the nation's most powerful newspapers, Sydney journeys from New York to Hollywood... only to discover that love along cannot sustain her. Returning to New York, she fights for her legacy and her place in a changing world.,

    Sydney, believes Oberon will always be there -- a haven from all the challenges the world can offer an ambitious young woman with every advantage of wealth and privilege.

    A novel that sweeps across the dramatic events of five decades, Oberon (formerly published as Homecoming) depicts the life of an unforgettable woman who is forced to choose between passion and ambition ... a woman determined to fight for her true legacy: a rich, abiding heritage of love. An unforgettable story of a woman who must accept the challenges of her life and destiny.. and the yearnings of her heart.

    Barbara Bickmore

    Heroines for the thinking woman, women who make a difference, BARBARA BICKMORE wrote her first short story at seven and has been writing ever since. Her dream to become a published writer came true when EAST OF THE SUN was published in 1988. As her heroines grow they become women who make a difference and don't settle for living life the way society dictates. Readers will experience sorrow, pain, happiness, romance, love and will enjoy growing with the heroines as they rise to life's challenges.  BARBARA BICKMORE relates her writing career to living in a Fairy Tale - her Cinderella story has allowed her to travel all over the world and to experience life in different places and through different cultures. BARBARA BICKMORE once said, "Being a writer is the most difficult work I've ever done, because there is absolutely nothing and no one but me and my mind. It's scary, in fact petrifying because I'm always afraid maybe there's nothing there, no thoughts or words to put on a page. Yet the joy, and sometimes ecstasy, is that something comes, a book is created, and I get these marvelous feelings of pride and even astonishment that I wrote what I wrote. I'm still surprised that  people pay to read what I write and think.  It is a dream come true that all my books are on library shelves!" BARBARA BICKMORE books have been translated into 16 languages and have been published in 22 countries. Women all over the world enjoy her stories and her heroines. BARBARA BICKMORE heroines are for the thinking woman, they are women who make a difference. Welcome to the world of Barbara Bickmore!
