Thank you to Net Galley and Glanderston House for the chance to read and review this book. All opinions expressed are my own.
This book is about Catherine (Kate) Beecher, older sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. I had never heard of Kate, so I enjoyed learning about her. There was a lot of pressure on her to get married, so she was very happy when she became engaged to Alexander Fisher. Unfortunately, Alexander died in a shipwreck. This tragic event changed Kate's life. She became a crusader for women's education and women's rights. She also became a bestselling author. She was not a suffragette because she had her own unique view about how to improve women's lives. I really liked this book. I could tell the author did a lot of research, and I'm sure the final copy will be exceptional. I also enjoyed the information he added at the end, as well as all the photographs throughout the book. This book was a winner for me!

I really enjoyed learning about Catharine Beecher and how everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the feel of this book. R. Lee Wilson has a strong writing style and was engaged with what was happening. I enjoyed getting to learn about this person and am excited to read more from R. Lee Wilson.
