📚 ***Book Review*** 📚

4⭐’s
“This book was excellent! I loved everything about it. And what’s not to love? Strong women, sailors, ships, Indians, Puritanical thinking. Every time I read the phrase “that’s men’s talk,” I would smile, then shudder realizing the reality of women being put down and minimalized for sooooo long. But this book, ya’ll, so very good. The pacing is great, and if you feel nothing for Ruth and Owen you have no heart! I actually loved sooo many of the characters. Thanks again @lorihettler.tnbbc and @leahangstman for allowing me to read this gem. I look forward to reading more great things from Leah in the future!!”
