I loved the first two books in this series. I really dig a good historical fiction. (Finding Donati sent me to Gabaldon).Though I did enjoy this 3rd book in the series, I felt it was a little slower moving.This book deals more with Nathaniel and Elizabeth's daughter, Hannah, and her journey into womanhood. It covers her doctoring skills, her bravery in helping slaves find their way to freedom, and it leads us to her finding the love of her life.I have to say the ending was really good and that's why I ended up giving this book 4 stars. I'm now going to need to purchase the next book to see what happens in Hannah's new life and with the Bonner's at Lake in the Clouds.
