Description
October, 1866 Mary Catherine is devastated when her family emigrates from Georgia to Brazil because her father and maternal uncle refuse to accept the terms of Reconstruction following the Confederacy’s defeat. Shortly after arrival in their new country, she is orphaned, leaving her in Uncle Nathan’s care. He hates Mary Catherine, blaming her for his sister’s death. She despises him because she believes Nathan murdered her father. When Mary Catherine discovers Nathan’s plan to be rid of her as well, she flees into the mountain wilderness filled with jaguars and equally dangerous men. Finding refuge among kind peasants, she grows into a beauty, ultimately marrying the scion of a wealthy Portuguese family. Happiness and security seem assured until civil unrest brings armed marauders who have an inexplicable connection to Mary Catherine. Recreating herself has protected Mary Catherine in the past, but this new crisis will demand all of the courage, intelligence, and creativity she possesses simply to survive.

I received this from Netgalley.com in exchange for a review.
Mary Catherine is devastated when her family emigrates from Georgia to Brazil because her father and maternal uncle refuse to accept the terms of Reconstruction following the Confederacy’s defeat. When she is orphaned, she finds refuge among kind peasants, ultimately marrying the scion of a wealthy Portuguese family.
Nicely written and well told family saga. A turmoiled and confusing piece of American history. Confederados fleeing Reconstruction after the Civil War moved to Brazil at the invitation of that government.
3.75 rounded up to 4☆

This book really kept my attention! From the beginning in October 1866 Mary Catherine and her family emigrate from Georgia to Brazil because her father and maternal uncle refuse to accept the terms of the Reconstruction following the Confederacy’s defeat.
What follows is more than a young child's circumstances should have to be in a lifetime let alone such a short amount of years. Bad luck seems to follow her. Happy memories sustain her.
A story of hope amongst survival mode that keeps this story rolling will have you turning pages quickly .
