As the great-granddaughter of a British general and a friend to many Loyalists, Verity believed all she wanted was a peaceful resolution. Yet both the Patriots and the impassioned Ian McKintrick are steadily laying claim to her heart. When faced with the decision of what - and for whom- she will fight, can she set her feet upon a new path despite the danger that threatens to destroy her dreams?
Review: I am in love with this series. So I will start out by saying that you must read this book but also 'Keturah', the first book in this series. Both stories, 'Verity' and 'Keturah' are about three sisters who travel to the wild West Indies from England to try and make a go of their decreased father's plantation. The realities that meet the women are unspeakable. From the prejudice against women plantation owners, to the reality of slavery, to the rampart illnesses that plague the island inhabitants, and to the grave danger of some of the island's men... the women are in a fierce fight for their very survival.
While the first book focuses on the eldest sister, 'Verity' dives into the life of the middle child. Verity is an adventurous girl and one who finds solace and purpose in working with animals. Whether it is a horse or a falcon, Verity has a way with it. Wishing to set herself apart from her sisters but also add a component to their business venture that is complimentary to their plantation, she goes on a voyage to seek out her missing beloved as well as some livestock for her new venture.
Following the scarce clues left by her sea captain, Verity stumbles into a situation she would have never dreamed of. With political pressures rising, Verity is forced to act quickly. The stakes are high - both personally as well as financially as Verity finds herself questioning who she is and what she believes in.
Thank-you to Graf Martin Communications and to Baker Publishing House for a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
