"So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark TwainJenn LeBlanc is one smart cookie, er, artist.  She crafted an enticing time travel story, THE RAKE AND THE RECLUSE.  LeBlanc added pictures.  Not just any pictures but her beautiful photographs.  It became the hot book of 2011.Not one to rest on her laurels (or remain in a safe harbor), LeBlanc went back to the drawing board, added scenes, and produced a six part serial novel.  She's taken historical readers satisfied with casual dining out for fine dining.  There is no going back.FREEDOM is the tantalizing appetizer, giving us the first impression of LeBlanc's ability to deliver the whole meal, er, story.  Her details are on target with customs, traditions, and expectations of the Victorian era - details that might be left out to make the word count of a traditionally published book.FREEDOM is more than the book's title; it is a metaphor for the author, the reader, and the characters explore more, dream more, and discover more than what is expected.Recommended book for historical fans who appreciate a sophisticated story.  Throw off the bowlines and join the fun!
