I had a hard time getting into this book. I felt the character Cassandra was quite self centered. She did refer to her dusty bible, so she was not following where God wanted her to go.
There were some horrific accidents??? Or attempts on either Cassandra or Geoffrey lives.
I found Lord Whittaker with a lot of compassion, he cared deeply for Cassandra, his Mother, and the workers at his factories. He seemed to realize the plight of his workers, and hoped to help them. Some interesting facts come out about the Mills vs home looms. When the men were at home and their wives saw them all day, there wasn't the tendency to stop at the Tavern on the way home and spend their wages!
There is a lot of action going on and a lot "fires". We also have shootings and stabbings. Interesting read that will surely keep you entertained.

I received this book for Revell Publishing and was not required to give a positive review. ( )
