Starred review from September 1, 2016
After a debauched duke attempts to seduce her, Eleanor Morgan flees on a ship bound for the American colonies. Arriving in South Carolina, she is now an indentured servant to trapper Samuel Heath. A former governess, Eleanor is ill prepared for the rough life in America. For the widowed Samuel, the thought of marrying again is unfathomable, but he realizes he needs help caring for his young charge. Two wounded hearts find solace in each other as they seek God's forgiveness and grace. VERDICT Griep's (Brentwood's Ward) beautifully drawn protagonists and authentic depictions of the harshness of 18th-century American frontier life is not to be missed. A sure bet for fans of historical romance.
