This is a historical fiction with a touch of romance and mystery. It is a stand alone, but I would so love to read what the future holds for Anna and some some of the other characters. This is a mesmerizing book and I found myself entranced in the details and could not put the book down until I was finished. But beware you will never guess the ending!! Just when you think you know, you are in for a surprise! Amelia is such a compassionate person and regardless of her devotion to her father I would have left as soon as I could have, and never looked back. Honestly I hate Thomas Van Martin but with the same passion I despised Jacob Miller... you have to read to find out why. This is a great read, you will not be disappointed.Its 1812 and Amelia Samuels has kept herself busy talking care of her family since her mother passed.
