Matthew Scott is the owner of a theatrical company and is conscripted into the rebel army as he's leaving the theater one night. I really loved his character. He is a gallant and noble man. His feelings for Angelina run deep and he has ample opportunity to offer her protection.Angelina Rose is committed to caring for her orphaned niece and nephew no matter the personal sacrifice, even when circumstances are favorable to escape from her life of slavery. How many people would give up an opportunity like that in order to care for children? I think it shows she holds life in high esteem and it displays her exceptional character.There is no doubt as you read along that the author has done an outstanding job researching the history surrounding Shirley Plantation. With exceptional word craftsmanship, God's providence is shown in the most spectacular way. When I finished this novella I was quite surprised by the twist near the end. It is brilliant!I was a beta reader for the author but in no way did that influence how much I enjoyed this story! No compensation has been received for this review.
