MY REVIEW: (LAWonder10) This is a touchstone Historical romance with an edge of suspense. Shockingly, a woman with two young children learns of her husband's accidental death. As soon as the funeral was over, she fled to the home of the aunt and uncle who had raised her most of her life. She needs the type of comfort their home offers. She made her excuses to her mother-in-law and made the ling journey... She wasn't going back! This novel's content has adventure, rehabilitation, longing, retribution, suspense, and family relationships in it. It, also, addresses the subject of verbal and physical abuse. This was very well written except in a couple of places it slightly dragged. I offer a Four Stars rating *This was gifted me with no request of a positive review. This is my honest review.
