Some say Henri Lennox is a privateer. Others murmur that he is a pirate and troublemaker, with his ideas against slavery and his black jacks aboard ship. For Esmee Shaw, however, Henri is the only man she has ever loved. Unfortunately, he loved the sea and she could not bear to stay home as a captain’s wife with him gone so far away for so very long. Esmee is content with the life of a spinster, carrying on the work of her dear departed mother in her roles as chocolatier, companion to her younger sister, and patron of the almshouse. At least she is content until Captain Lennox returns to coastal Virginia and both are forced to reconsider their feelings and what they mean now that Henri has other ambitions better suited to life onshore.
There is a very good reason why Laura Frantz has won both Christy and INSPY awards, and she sets her sails for success with A Heart Adrift. Her main characters and primary plot are stellar. However, don’t underestimate the supporting characters or subplots which carry considerable weight of their own. Such attention to detail makes this one of her best novels to date.
A Heart Adrift by Laura Frantz is available now from your favorite local bookseller or online:
Christian Book Barnes & Noble Amazon
