| I was so intrigued with the story; I absolutely could not believe that it was at the ending! This fast-paced historical story flowed in such a way that, even though shorter than some, it packed a lot of emotion and passion within its pages. Sarah had been a widow for five years; her husband had been the love of her life. She now was mentally and physically involved with an Indian named Takuwit, who was the half brother of her 13-year-old servant, Witawe, who introduced them and taught her their language.
Her only living child, Adam, supported her and his very pregnant wife. He was trying to force her to marry a man who was dull as dishwater. The repulsive preacher, Reverend Shayne, was a hypocrite and tried to blackmail Sarah into meeting him for sexual favors to insure his silence after he saw Sarah and Takuwit together in the woods. Ms. Kimberley O’Bryan wrote a very interesting story about ongoing trouble between Whites and Indians; she showed how society treated some widows. The characters were so genuine, and the story flowed so well, I actually felt as if I was in the middle of Williamstown during this time. She visually sketched the town thoroughly with her words. She did a really good job; I could not put it down. This is a perfect story to indulge you with a quick read that will be remembered with pleasure. I recommend this story to anyone who enjoys historical romance; I guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
