I haven’t read a book yet by Karen Witemeyer that I didn’t love! Christian historical fiction with a western flair, Witemeyer’s books are just plain fun to read, and leave the reader feeling good! This title was no exception.

Many people have heard of Wallis Simpson, the woman King Edward VIII couldn’t live without and ultimately abdicated the throne for, but few have probably heard the story of the woman he loved before he met Wallis.

This is the second book about Eliza Hamilton that I have read, the first being “I, Eliza Hamilton” … both were excellent! Both of these novels are told in the first person by Eliza Hamilton.
