Maebel Bohannon's family is divided by their loyalties in the struggle for early America.
Mae finds herself especially at odds with her sister Coralie, who is a devoted Loyalist, with a British officer as a beau. I admired Mae in her forbearance of her sister's selfish ways, and refusal to settle into complaining alongside her, while making the best of each situation.
I loved the longing between Rhys and Mae as they fight for a future despite the uncertain future. General Rhys Harlow is devoted to the American cause and is a good friend to Mae's brother. I liked their connection and bond of faith.
A captivating read that swept me into the struggles of a young America, as loyalties are divided and families torn apart. Full of heartache, betrayal and longing, this historically rich novel will have you hanging onto every word. Hopeful, romantic and gritty, with a love story you won't soon forget.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
