Ebook Description
Since the day Marguerite escaped from slavery, she has always run from trouble. When she is hired to paint a portrait for a wealthy family, she is unexpectedly confronted by the father of her young husband, who was killed aiding her escape. Uncertain how to make amends, she does the only thing she knows – paint a portrait, a portrait of the family she once lost.

I am more than halfway through her historical novel and caught up in a story of history and lives that compel me to continue reading. Her characters lives are reveled over time with some flashback to back stories that are like stories within stories.
It is very well written and I have not noted any errors (could be that I am so caught up in the story that I do not notice any).
This is one of the times that I wish I could express myself as well as some members when they comment on books they have read, as this is well worth reading.
