I loved this book!! The story is overflowing with history, with excitement, with family drama, with cultural differences. I couldn't put it down. It will tug at your emotions and make you want to keep reading. Each character is so unique and multi-faceted, I couldn't begin to list them all. Each one blends perfectly with the core of the story and plays an essential part. I'm so glad that Jocelyn Green chose to write this story and am looking forward to reading it again and again!

I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley and was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are my own.

There’s a solemn tone throughout this book as we go back and forth in time and slowly unveiling the divide in which Catherine Stands-Alone lives.
She might believe she lives in neutrality, but deep down she knows that’s impossible. Will she do what she must or will she continue as she is, only to eventually truly find herself alone?

I want to come back and write some more, but first I must wrap my head around this story.

I agree this might be Jocelyn Green’s best so far. After reading such a book I can only commend the author and thank her for writing it. Well done!

Having read all of Jocelyn Green’s books to date, I have to say this is her best one yet! This story is so original and rich in historic detail! It is so different from anything I have read before. I absolutely loved it! There were some hard topics in this book, but I think they were written with grace. This book deserves to be read multiple times! I highly recommend it!

I love Jocelyn Green stories. Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres to read, and she does it so well. I love how Jocelyn tells you what is fact and what is fiction at the end of the book. She is an amazing storyteller, you can tell she's done her homework with impeccable research, compelling characters, and vivid descriptions. It was easy to imagine Catherine straddling the two cultures she was born into (she is the daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father), and being at the her father's trading post, trading with both sides, the British and the French during the Seven Years War, or traveling along the river to help a friend escape, a dangerous journey that brings them closer to the fighting in Between Two Shores. This war torn story is rich in history, courage, hope and family, don't miss it!!!

A great book! So much wonderful history, gave me a new perspective on all that I have to be thankful for in our great country. And those who fought to make it that way. Wonderful characters! I couldn’t pick any one favorite character because I enjoyed each roll they contributed to the story. Catherine was such a strong and incredible woman, she gave a part of herself too all. There is so much to love about this book. The 1700’s was such a horrible time for so many, people starving, to the Indians and the war. I cried reading this book, it touched me to the core. You will feel so much while reading this book you won’t want it to end. I’m hoping for a sequel!
