This was a pretty good book. I enjoyed it. I thought Ms. Shorey did an excellent job of creating historic atmosphere. It wasn't a can't-put-it-down-until-I'm-finished kind of story for me. But it did sustain my interest, and I was curious as to what would finally become of her lost son. She didn't leave loose ends, but wrapped things up satisfactorily. ( )
