Daughters of Northern Shores



***1/2
PG
{UM} {GS}
Possibly Recommend

This one is kind of tough for me to rate...
It is the sequel to Sons of Blackbird Mountain which I really liked but there is an attempted rape at the end of it.  This book continues the man's story who attempted the rape.  He doesn't live a very moral life and it refers to that a few times but it is a lovely story of forgiveness, restitution and redemption.  There were some {Uncomfortable Moments} that had to do with marital intimacy (and of course the non marital intimacy references with the main character as well).
Also, there was a bit of violence and somewhat graphic scenes describing a few deaths.
These books deal with hard issues and you become invested in the characters lives.  After finishing this book I felt a lot different than I usually do after reading one of the frilly English romances that I forget about almost immediately.
If you are looking for some depth and don't mind the objections mentioned above, I would definitely recommend these two books!

  1. After all the issues you raised, I was surprised you recommended them. The forgiveness/redemption theme must override it all
