A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

The Weaver's Daughter - Sarah E. Ladd

Kate is torn between two worlds.  Her brother works at a mill while her father is a weaver.  Loyalty is important to her father, and she doesn’t dare upset him.  He won’t allow Kate to have much say in the business, even though she feels like it will be hers one day.

Henry has come back from the war, and his homecoming isn’t quite what he was hoping for.  Arguments with his grandfather and an intriguing woman he can never have bring him down.  When tragedy strikes, the gap between them grows.  And it continues to grow as things in town get worse.

This is very North and South (Richard Armitage and Daniela Denby-ashe) meets Romeo and Juliet.  The warring families, the mill owners under attack – it all felt familiar to me.  Fortunately, it doesn’t end as tragically as Romeo and Juliet.

At the time of this review, I didn’t see this book linked to a series, but I hope to see more from this world.  I’d like to find out what happens to Charles or Mollie.  Even Frederica.  All in all, a good book that I enjoyed.  Now I’m off to watch North and South – it’s one of my favorites!

*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Thomas Nelson through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
