There's intense action and tragedy here but an ultimate victory worth reading toward. Reminiscent of the early books by Rosemary Rogers, Gwyneth Atlee's heroine displays good old-fashion gumption and fortitude, rising above adversity to conquer fear and mortal enemies. The story of Hannah Shelton as told by Gwyneth Atlee is mesmerizing with the detailed description of life in early Wisconsin. Ms. Atlee makes you feel the desperation of Hannah, the panic of the fire, the hopelessness of the survivors. This is a romance that will keep you reading until the last satisfying page.
Love is a powerful sword, but only when the characters who wield it are equal to the task.
I was so immersed in what became a real life and real struggles, I didn't want this book to end. It has intensely vivid, memorable scenes that they stayed with me like visions. You won't regret it. But don't think for a second that this is a story of doom and gloom. There are lessons of trust, hope, and love abounding among these pages.
