In the post-Civil War Alabama, Sarah survived as a slave in a household that was strict, but not cruel, and raised a daughter named Hope. When the mistress died, and the young master tried to force her, she was left with no choice but to run with her daughter. She was almost caught when she was rescued by Alexander, one of the biggest plantation owners in the area... // Alexander had been looking for Soleil for a long time. She was kidnapped by slave traders and he had never forgotten her. Her reappearance was both a surprise and a shock... and the fact she didn't remember a thing of her previous life left them both reeling. She wanted to believe he loved her, but she is still stunned by her change in fortune. When people around Alex intend to force Soleil out of the way, Alex may be forced to execute his own final gambit so they can be together...
Wow, this is one tour-de-force, with what seems to be impeccable research in the years after the Civil War where the slaves may be freed in name, but in reality severely restricted by various laws. The solution was both somewhat of a deus ex machina, yet ingenious. This book will bring tears to your eyes.
5/5
