Rachel’s Passage

From the Back cover,

A Girls’ Promise

When her dashing beau set sail to find his fortune, young Rachel vowed she was his forever. Yet as the months pass, she is left with nothing more than her childish promise and the attentions of Seth, a quiet older man she is sure will stifle her spirit. Instead, Seth’s devotion and tender caresses awaken passions deep inside the woman Rachel has become.

A Woman’s Dream

Then a terrible scandal erupts, shattering Rachel and Seth’s flourishing marriage. Now, Rachel must risk everything– her reputation and her happiness–to convince the one man she can ever truly love that her heart belongs to him.

5-star rating at Amazon.com.

Review by Linda T from Amazon.com reviews: In sections alternating between the main characters’ perspectives, this beautifully written historical novel lures readers to take sides, and then doubt the side they’ve taken, in a lawsuit over the custody of a child. The author’s thorough research into archaic legal concepts like “self divorce” and “criminal conversation” gives her fictional early American community a solid structure. Sure, it’s a romantic story, but the characters are so well depicted and their controversy so sensibly drawn, that the intrigue of the book goes far beyond the simple categorization of its genre.
