The Civil War is over, but Mississippi belle Selah Daughtry finds that former Union officer Levi Riggins has set siege to her rebel heart. Can she trust him to help her protect her home and family in these hard times--or will she lose her pride and self-respect in the process?
My Thoughts:
A Rebel Heart
takes us back to five years after the Civil War has ended, and reconstruction
of the south has begun. Selah Daughtry and her two sisters are about to lose
their family plantation. Selah has tried to secure loans with no luck and only
one possibility seems to offer hope: turning their plantation into a hotel.
There are an assortment of characters that we are introduced
to, which help set up the next two books. The main characters of this story are
Selah and Levi Riggins who is a Yankee and former Union soldier with a plethora
of secrets. He makes for an interesting character even from the time he and
Selah first meet which is quite memorable. Both of their lives also have been
severely touched by the war.
There is a shroud of mystery in this book and I don’t want to
give anything away, I will say this was a treat to read and watch how the
author tells her story and unravels everything. I think what I really liked
seeing was that the people, former slave owners and former slaves working together
to bury the past hurts and build something new into the future. I am looking
forward to the next two installments.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel. I was not
required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.
