No, I'm not talking about me. I've been married twelve years! The girls in my neighborhood recently read this book for book club, and I finally got around to reading it, only a month or two too late! I started reading in in car-pool line Friday afternoon and I finished it last night (Saturday). It was very entertaining and clean. If you are looking for a good read, try this one.
Here is a brief overview of the beginning of the book:
In Deanne Gist’s debut novel, A Bride Most Begrudging, the reader is transported to 1643 and follows the path of Lady Constance Morrow who, in the beginning of the novel, is attempting to say farewell to an uncle who is to be deported for loyalties to the King. England is in the beginning grip of the Civil War, and royalist sentiments are squelched with ferocious authority. But before Constance is able to leave the ship, she is abducted by the captain, a practice not uncommon in the day, and is forced to become a “tobacco bride” - a woman sold to a male colonist as a bride for 150 pounds of tobacco.
