An intense family drama that had me captive from the start. An insight and encouragement to keep praying and trusting God through all the challenges we face.

I wasn't disappointed at all! In fact I was excited to finally see this book from Frantz that I jumped up and down with joy. Her books are amazing and this one was no exception.
I sure didn't want this story to end.
All the characters were delightful and I really just can't stop thinking about them.
Juliet is one of them. In fact, she's my favorite.
I didn't like her father at all. Scoundrel.
Leith is something else. He's interesting. "Sigh"
I learned quite a lot about Indigo. Fascinating.
5 stars from me. I highly recommend
Looking forward to Frantzs' next book.
My thanks for a copy of this book. I was NOT required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine.

“We can hardly dwell on the past when the future looms.”

This spectacular story was MORE than I expected.

Miss Juliet Catesby reminded me of the value of living as a ‘true Proverbs 31 woman’. In the wake of grief, her father had set into motion a secret agreement that had the potential to drop Juliet to her knees. Juliet (26) and her sister, Loveday (24), responded with more grace than I think I’d muster and showed me how God works all things for good.

In addition to exhibiting grace, I loved how Juliet always looked for the silver lining in “sudden and precipitous situations”. She had me considering fate versus providence and catalyzed my prayer life when it was written that she “saturated the coming night in prayer.” Not much wonder she’s a true Proverbs 31 woman!

I was intrigued by the exploration of ‘blue gold’ and thought Leith Buchanan was a man I’d like to meet in real life! Frantz effortlessly dropped me in Virginia 1774 and had me speaking with the Scottish accent and thinking about her story long after I’d closed the beautiful cover of her book.

Please tell me this isn’t the last we’ve heard of the Buchanan girls!

I was gifted this copy by Revell and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

This had that historical fiction element that I was looking for and enjoyed how everything flowed well. The characters had that element that I was expecting and enjoyed going on with the world and storyline. I thought Laura Frantz wrote this well and was invested in what was going on. I was glad I got to read this and am excited to read more from Laura Frantz.

This book was such a good book. I wasn't expecting it to be so good. It's not my kind of read at the moment but I really did enjoy it.
