A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another lovely Colonial America story set at the beginning of the French and Indian War. There is nothing of the war itself in the book, but that geopolitical event is a large part of the tension for the characters. A second chance at love story, the hero and heroine meet again after a tumultuous breakup and a 10-year separation. He’s a sea captain who loves to sail, she’s a sea captain’s daughter who resents her father’s absence in her growing up years. The setting is beautifully portrayed on the barrier islands off of York, Virginia. There are some real historical characters included. This one is well worth reading.
