6/4/2023 0 Comments A heart adriftWill a war and a cache of regrets keep them apart, or can their shared vision and dedication to the colonial cause heal the wounds of the past? Bestselling and award-winning author Laura Frantz whisks you away to a time fraught with peril-on the sea and in the heart-in this redemptive, romantic story. The 1755 war with France and the role of privateers in that war are elements of history that I was not very familiar with but they have taken greater shape in my mind both as historical events and what it may have. But when the colonial government asks him to lead a secret naval expedition against the French, his future is plunged into uncertainty. A Heart Adrift is a beautiful novel that explores a period of history through the lives of well-developed and engaging characters. Captain Henri Lennox has returned to port after a lengthy absence, intent on completing the lighthouse in the dangerous Chesapeake Bay, a dream he once shared with Esmée. But she longs to find something worthwhile to do with her life. Having reached her twenty-eighth birthday, she is reconciled to life alone after a decade-old failed love affair from which she's never quite recovered. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of the heart. "Full of rich historical detail, this title is rooted in its time yet filled with issues that resonate today such as racial inequalities, economic injustice, and a pandemic."- Library Journal starred review "A redemptive story of war, regrets, romance, and an attempt to heal old wounds."- Woman's World *** It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia.
