PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Woodhouse sets this enjoyable fourth installment in Barbour's Daughters of the Mayflower series at the onset of the Revolutionary War. Orphaned and then widowed, Faith Lytton Jackson has grown into an independent and wealthy woman. Her lifelong relationship with George Washington places her in a position of trust with the Patriots, and she rallies the women of Boston to do what they can for the cause. Matthew Weber worked with Washington during his surveying years, but it's his close relationship with Benjamin Franklin and his son William, the royal governor of New Jersey and a Loyalist, that puts him in a unique, albeit risky, position. When Faith and Matthew begin working together to secretly deliver a letter, they quickly develop a personal attachment. Dangerous liaisons, clandestine meetings, and covert missions add a dash of intrigue to Faith and Matthew's quaint love story. A smarmy would-be suitor complicates the situation and puts both Matthew and Faith in further jeopardy. Woodhouse stays true to the historical images of Washington and Franklin, lending credence to the fictional liberties she takes with these well-recognized Founding Fathers. Woodhouse's fun, faith-filled book will please fans of historical romances.)
Customer Reviews
This is a remarkable historical romance!
I love both of the main characters. Faith is an incredibly strong woman. She has learned how to survive without a man in charge of her household because of her strength. She knows how to lead and she expects those around her to follow her instructions. She helps immensely in the difficult situations that she faces during the beginning of the war.
Matthew is everything you can ask for in a hero in a book. He is strong, handsome, and very dedicated to his beliefs and doing all that he can to support the cause. Throw in there the fact that he is always willing to protect Faith is just perfect.
The storyline is captivating. I was drawn into it and anxious to find out how things turn out for Faith and Matthew. It was a nice fictional story built into the history of the Revolutionary War. Seeing George Washington and Benjamin Franklin brought into the story and interacting with Faith and Matthew was wonderful.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading the author’s note at the end of the book to see what she had to say about the use of actual historical characters in her book. It was great to read her thoughts and see a glimpse into how she views history.
