All along the eastern
seaboard, the American struggle for independence rages. In the
British-held southern port of Mobile, Alabama, the conflict brewing is
quieter--though no less deadly. The lovely Frenchwoman Lyse Lanier is
best friends with the daughter of the British commander. Rafael Gonzalez
is a charming young Spanish merchant with a secret mission and a
shipment of gold to support General Washington. As their paths cross and
their destinies become increasingly tangled, Lyse and Rafael must
decide where their true loyalties lie--and somehow keep Lyse's family
from being executed as traitors to the British Crown.
Beth
White teaches music at an inner-city high school in historic Mobile,
Alabama. Her hobbies include playing flute and pennywhistle and
painting, but her real passion is writing historical romance with a
Southern drawl.
A native Mississippian, she is a pastor's wife, mother of two, and grandmother of two--so far.
Also
published as Elizabeth White, her novels have won the American
Christian Fiction Writers Carol Award, the RT Book Club Reviewers Choice
Award, and the Inspirational Reader's Choice Award.
My Thoughts:
The book starts out well, pulls you right in, as you read further there are so many points of view it is hard to have a character to cheer for, and feel for. I was saddened by this because I enjoyed The Pelican Bride.
