I will read anything Becky Lower writes, even if it's a historical re-write of the phone book, so I was excited to see book number two in The Cotillion Ball Series, The Abolitionist's Secret. I was even more excited to see the book's heroine was one of the precocious Fitzpatrick twins: Heather. David and Heather fall for each other early on in the novel, and it was refreshing to discover that the central conflict for the characters is not falling in love--as is typical in romance--but overcoming an obstacle together. And what an obstacle. Mrs. Whitman is such an evil future mother-in-law; she was so much fun to hate!As I have come to expect from Lower, historical fact is interwoven with the narrative flawlessly to create a fabulous glimpse into the past and a wonderful read.Note: I was provided an ARC for review as a professional courtesy.
