Reviews

[James Hogan · Rating 4 out of 5]

May be my favourite book of the series! Well, I'm unsure of that, but even so, this is a great one. Has possibly my all-time favourite opening of any book in the Christian Heritage Series (Thomas storming the dining room at the inn!) and the whole book is set at the Hutchinson plantation, a setting that is really only explored in this book. Some great high drama here and Thomas continues his growth as a man of God.

I loved this book! It had lots of mystery and adventure. When Thomas showed back up at his house in a dress I just had to laugh! I definitely recommend this book.
