I absolutely loved this book. The whole time I read it I envisioned Constance to be just like Nicole Kidmann in "Far and Away" with Tom Cruise. Because of the red hair and the saucy personality. This was definitely a good CLEAN romance.

A story of what happened to a woman brought over on a Bride Ship. Wonderful story! Gives you a side to the story of historical slave trade of women.....Not the same as today but a historical version. It is a happy story with twists and turns.
Loved it!

This book is by far the best I have read all year, I did not want to stop reading it, I loved It, I laughed, I cried, and I would recommend it to everyone it is based on what really happened back then and I truly enjoyed it when I couldn't read it I couldn't stop thinking about it and couldn't wait to make time to read it again. This is my first book that I have read by Deanne Gist and I will make sure to read more books of her's. If you haven't read it you must read it soon if you like christian romance that is in the old times, I am loning it to my mom then when I get it back I will repost it so others can enjoy it it's to good a book not to share.

An excellent blend of humor, tension and inspiration.
I enjoyed a look into colonial history/life, the way Gist described it whether it was completely accurate or not made me feel like I was actually there. Lady Constance is a very entertaining character, several times I laughed out loud.

Good story about the days of tobacco brides being brought over from England for VA colony farmers. The main character is a feisty little redhead. Enjoyed the book.

As a math teacher I was VERY intrigued by the math "puzzles," but as an avid Christian fiction reader I was more impressed with the flow of the story with humor, intrigue, suspense, and yes, love. Don't worry, the math DOES NOT take away from the story for those less math literate.
A Terrific first novel by Deeanne Gist. Would read anything she writes!
