This was absolutely wonderful. The plot was well-paced and captivating from start to finish. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

Loved getting to know Rebecca Leavitt as a main character, the rest of the cast worked well in the time period. The story was what I was looking for and I was invested in what was happening. Martine Leavitt does a great job in telling the story and was written well. I thoroughly had a great time reading this and can't wait for more from Martine Leavitt.

Mother couldn’t see that field from any window in their house. But Rebecca had never seen him smoke at the church.“You’d best not do that in front of me, Father. Mother wouldn’t like it.”
