The story is fabulous, I love it! Welcome to my favorites list, Michelle Griep! I requested the opportunity to read and review this book through NetGalley and the publisher.
Samuel’s most endearing characteristics are his devotion to his daughter and his willingness to put himself in harm’s way in order to protect others.Ī colonial small town, the mountainous backwoods, and the Cherokee cultures are all depicted in this volatile period before the Revolutionary War. He spends a lot of time between a rock and a hard place. Samuel is a man’s man with a colorful background and painful past. Samuel Heath is one of my favorite characters of all time! He is wonderfully complex and he has that quiet brooding quality that I adore. She’s a hard worker and dedicated to those she cares for. Honestly, I didn’t even put the book down when I did finish reading… that vibrant cover begged to be admired while the story soaked into my reader heart!Įleanor Morgan has quite the white-knuckle adventure when she’s forced to leave her position as the governess of an upper-class family in England to eventually become the reluctant convenient bride of a colonial backwoodsman! I’m reeling from the culture shock here yet Eleanor remains tenacious and compassionate despite her circumstances. This riveting story captivated me from the start and I couldn’t put it down until I had read every last word.
