“The Road to Magnolia Glen” by Pam Hillman

Betrayal!

After a long ocean voyage, Kiera Young realized as soon as she stepped on the Natchez, Mississippi, dock that she had been deceived.  Duped into believing Natchez offered them a good future, Kiera and her younger sisters willingly left Ireland.  Alone in the new world without a soul to turn to for support, Kiera found a nightmare lurked for the three of them.  Worse yet, legally the horror might have to be undergone.

Amazingly, Kiera and her sisters got unexpected help and  were secreted away to the O’Shea plantation, located many horseback hours from Natchez.  To express gratitude to the O’Shea’s for giving the girls shelter, Kiera undertook any work she could find there.

But all is not rosy at this location, because Kiera lived in fear.  Recognition of the girls could come at any time since the plantation is next to a well-traveled route.  If discovered, the Youngs could be forced back to the nightmare they barely escaped in Natchez.  Additionally, Quinn O’Shea who had been their protector, constantly had been talking of leaving to go see the world.  Connor O’Shea, the head of the family, was mistreated by another member of the Young family.  Because of that he is not very happy to have them there.  Kiera fears that once Quinn leaves, the three girls will be thrown out.  They could not survive in the Mississippi wilderness if that would happen.

Life on a 1790’s plantation along with close calls, and ingenuity pepper the pages of this volume.  Action and romance made an appearance as well.  The Road to Magnolia Glen is book two in the Natchez Trace Series but stands on its own. I liked that the faith of the characters was a natural part of the tale.  This clean 5-star story is recommended for any who like romance, historical books or well-written fiction.

All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required, or influenced, to give anything but an honest appraisal.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255.
