During a tumultuous time in US history, when uncertainty abounds, Cassandra Lane paints an engrossing and moving tale of love and the triumph of the human spirit. "Separation (Like Kindred Spirits)", chocked full of fully developed and vivid characters and a back drop that is flocked with many, many obstacles, not the least of which is civil unrest, is a page turner, as haunting as it is heartwarming. But what I most loved about it, and what stood out in my mind as I read it, was the allegorical themes of love shining and thriving, even during the darkest hour as well as the theme of perseverance and grit determination helping her protagonists overcome adversity to create for themselves the life that they desire.Well-written and infused with heart, Ms. Lane delivers a tale that will undoubtedly stick with me for quite some time to come. And that it featured a beautiful drawn and touching biracial romance marks it as a rare jewel amongst the historical romance genre - something I, personally, would like to see more of. I definitely recommend it!
