Christian historical fiction. This one takes place in colonial America. There are very few women, the country is built on the backs of indentured servants and slaves, hostilities with the Native Americans still take many, many lives and the chances of a long and healthy life are slim for most. What a setting!
This story was of a young British noblewoman kidnapped and sold in America as a wife to the highest bidder. The young man she ends up with doesn't want her as a wife, but they are forced to marry because there are so few women there, that to "waste" one is inconceivable. This is the story of the growth of their relationship.
This one was more gritty than the others of hers that I've read thus far. There was a lot of death--it was the story of life for those first Americans. And the setting wasn't quite as compelling as some of Deeanne Gist's others. I did enjoy the story, though. Not one of my favorites, but still interesting and entertaining.
