Interesting story about a very strong and brave woman. Takes place in the 1800's in Key West area. Boats wrecked on the shoals of the Keys that were carrying goods as well as slaves. I reviewed it for Book Browse and would not recommend it for book club. Is a nice read but---------------------

I found it a very good read. The hardships that the women of that era had to endure and the way that she was able to have the life she deserved and provide for her children was a statement of how strong and independent some of these women were.

Our book club won this novel through the giveaways and everyone really liked the book. It got very positive reviews from all of our members, and I've recommended it to others since our discussion. Any book clubs who like historical fiction, especially that which depicts strong female characters, should choose this book. I reviewed this a while back when it was first read at my blog, and I got a very nice response from the author.
