My hands trembled in anticipation as I opened the package that had come
in the mail to discover another novel of historical fiction. I can’t get enough of historical
fiction. There’s nothing so calm as
sitting back in the living room chair with the yellow glow of the light beside
me, a steaming cup of tea on the table, and slip away into another time
period. This one involves Massachusetts
in 1763.
I received a copy of REBELLIOUS HEART by Jody Hedlund from Bethany
House, one of my favorite publishing companies.
In it, Susanna Smith fights for an education even though she’s a woman
and Benjamin Ross fights for a better world.
They make a great pair, and the romance between the two really vibrates
off the pages. Ben is a true hero. Many of the things he did made my heart
flutter. What gentlemen we had back
then!
I enjoyed all of the characters
(even the bad guys!) and this new world, so to speak, kept me entranced. I’ve read other books by Jody Hedlund –
UNENDING DEVOTION stands out in my mind – and can recognize that she’s a strong
writer. I look forward to what she comes
out with next.
