I was given a copy of this book by the author to create a promotional image for a social media book tour. I decided to read the book because it genuinely sounded intriguing from the synopsis and I thought the series would be one I might like.

What I did enjoy about this book is that it follows a family lineage, yet acted as a stand-alone book. The cover is stunning and drew me in! I also liked the time period in which it was set - during the Revolutionary War. I am open to reading other books in this series since they are written by multiple authors.

Unfortunately, for me, the book overall was not what I expected. The characters and story lacked the depth I desired and I had trouble relating to it or staying interested. It was predictable, too convenient/not well planned. There was some redundancy so I skimmed paragraphs. I felt Faith, the main character, read as a bit immature for a woman in her 30s. The author tried to build her up as brave and strong with her description, but the character’s actions often contradicted that, especially when dealing with Mr. James. I also felt the characters of the women’s group, Mr. James and Matthew Weber’s sister weren’t really necessary so I rushed through the parts with them involved.

Again, this is merely my opinion. You may read the book and love it! In fact, many have! In conclusion, this book is well suited as an easy reader, or for a middle school/young adult reader.
