About the Book:
In 1772 England, Lady Keturah Banning Tomlinson and her sisters find themselves the heiresses of their father's estates and know they have one option: Go to the West Indies to save what is left of their heritage.
Although it flies against all the conventions, they're determined to make their own way in the world. But once they arrive in the Caribbean, conventions are the least of their concerns. On the infamous island of Nevis, the sisters discover the legacy of the legendary sugar barons has vastly declined-and that's just the start of what their eyes are opened to in this harsh and unfamiliar world.
Keturah never intends to put herself at the mercy of a man again, but every man on the island seems to be trying to win her hand and, with it, the ownership of her plantation. She could desperately use an ally, but even an unexpected reunion with a childhood friend leaves her questioning his motives.
To keep her family together and save the plantation that is her last chance at providing for them, can Keturah ever surrender her stubbornness and guarded heart to God and find the healing and love awaiting her?

My Review:
Keturah is the beginning to Lisa Tawn Bergren’s exciting new series, The Sugar Baron’s Daughters. I thought it was a great way to start off and getting to know the characters. I loved the vivid details that the author provided of the setting and the moment in history. I do not remember reading any novels set during Historic Caribbean which made the story for me refreshing and unique.
I can not wait for the second book to The Sugar Baron’s
Daughters series to see what will happen next. I give Keturah 4 stars.
I received this book from the publisher. This review is 100%
my own honest opinion.
I absolutely loved the River of Time series even though I have not read the whole series and hopefully this will grab just as much.
