This is a fast-paced story of passion, jealousy, theft, and murder. I must admit I found it very hard to put this book down! With each page I was more and more intrigued by this tale.Laurel, a young widow, is left virtually penniless, and to make matters worse, her son has been abducted. Her sincere devotion to her child leads her on a journey to find the truth about her late husband and those he trusted most.Ms. Woodson has done a fantastic job of keeping the reader engaged. Laurel is an impressively strong character who most women will immediately identify with. At a time when women were considered little more than property, she proves herself to be so much more. This novel will easily appeal to both fans of romance, mystery, and historical fiction.
