This seems to be a timely book to read right now as our nation faces division. It was quite interesting to read about the Mason-Dixon Line. Not everyone was thrilled that slavery had been abolished and you could feel tension in the air.
Aurora and Zane are quite a pair as they try to maneuver through a relationship. I wasn’t sure who had the stronger personality as they both seemed to get on each other’s nerves. I have to say I enjoyed reading how these two could change their minds about each other at the drop of a hat. The author really does a good job of slowly allowing us to witness their emotional growth in several areas.
The story does tackle sensitive subjects like racism and the KKK. Zane has his hands full trying to protect witnesses while looking for a murderer. There is a lot of pressure on him and you can sense his need to rely on his faith to not give up. The author does not shy away from subjects that are uncomfortable but delivers a powerful account of a time period that caused many to become enemies against friends and family.
I’m sad to see the series end but am very pleased with how each book flowed gracefully into the next without missing a beat. I do recommend reading the books in order to familiarize yourself with characters that make appearances in the other books. The author’s writing is like a breath of fresh air as the stories intercept each other in an epic adventure of faith , hope and love.
I received a copy of this book from Revell Publishing. The review is my own opinion.
