Some authors feel like an old comfortable shoe when you begin to read their work. So it is for this author for me. I totally enjoyed Honor Bright. The author makes this sensitive, principled young woman come alive it a touching and poignant way. Her quiet determination is wonderfully heart warming and one cannot help but cheer when she chooses to help runaway slaves in spite of the danger to herself and her family by marriage. I liked this tale very much.
