This story is so much more than the North verses the South and all the hatred and violence that took place. Instead, It is a story about compassion, kindness, and doing the right thing for those in need.

Marni Penning brings the characters to life in a such a memorable way and enhancing the emotional high stakes of the story. Plus, I loved how Penning brought Jubileeโs sassy, brave attitude and character to life. Just loved that girl!

Overall, I loved every minute of of this story, and did not want it to end. I was drawn into the atmosphere and tension while wondering how everything was going to play out all the way to the end, and those are my favorite types of books! Those who love Bohjalian will be enthralled yet again by his masterful storytelling.
Thank you Doubleday Books and PRH Audio for this gifted copy in exchange for my honest review.
