1653
Long Island. Settled by Dutch, English,
and native tribes, there was turmoil and unrest. Dutch Lieutenant Dirk Van Buren and English
settler Ben Horton both vie for the heart of Heather Flower, a Montaukett
Indian princess. As the Dutch, English,
and Indian nations work for peaceful solutions to their differences, each man
and Heather Flower must search their own hearts to find God’s path for their
lives.
Throughout
the story, strong themes of community, sacrifice, and perseverance came
through. After Heather Flower was
rescued from the warring tribe that kidnapped her and killed her husband, she
chose to live with her aunt near the town of Southold. There she was embraced and lovingly brought
into the community. She was hardworking
and always willing to help, even though she was brought up as a princess.
Author
Rebecca DeMarino’s ancestors once again are the characters in this historical
romance, the second book of The Southold Chronicles. This is a lovely book that will charm those
who love to immerse themselves in another time and place.
I
received a copy of this book from the author/publisher, in exchange for my
honest review, which I have given.
About the
author:
Rebecca
DeMarino writes love, legends, and lore as a historical romance author and
lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
She inherited her love of baking and gardening from her mother, a love
of horses, reading, and writing from her dad, and the wanderlust gene from both
parents. Her travels have taken her from
Alaska to Nebraska and Florida, from Long Island to England and Italy, and from
Washington, DC to Texas, California, and Guam.
But usually you can find her at home, enjoying her grandchildren and
baking crisp little ginger cakes. Learn more at rebeccademarino.com.
I like your review. I just got my book in the mail and I am going to begin reading it tonight. This is the first time I am doing a book review for someone so I was so glad to see your review so I will have an idea of what to do. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you like it!
DeleteI noticed you did other book reviews for authors. How did you find out about all of them?
ReplyDeleteI found out about other opportunities mostly by following the authors on Facebook or subscribing to their newsletters. I'm also part of a reading group on Facebook.
