Battles
rage in Elizabeth Elliot’s heart as the threat of war invades her hometown.
Charles Town, South
Carolina, 1773—The
dark curtain of the rumors of revolution threatens to descend as Louis
Lestarjette makes a permanent break from his homeland and pursues his relations
with Elizabeth. Somehow, he must find a way to manage all aspects of his life
amid the political and financial difficulties this turbulent time throws at
him. Never has his heart been at the center of his life decisions, challenging
what he really wants, if he cannot have it all.
Elizabeth
Elliott must find unwavering courage, choosing to allow God’s love to surround
her with strength. A marriage during a time of confusion seems impossible as a
Patriot from a Loyalist family who loves a Frenchman. She wonders how a
faithful daughter can marry without her father’s permission. After a summer
apart from Louis, she begins to fear that the uncertain times might delay their
life together.

My Review
We get to travel around the colonies by way of a trip to Boston, and see first-hand what is going on to make these famous men want independence from England.
We also are given some sweet romance, and hope for a future between two of those that we met previously. Will these two, one French and the other a daughter of a staunch supporter of the Crown, be able to marry?
I loved all the updates, as we move forward, and am looking forward to a conclusion to this series, or I want to have more!
I received this book through Celebrate Lit, and was not required to give a positive review.
