No Safe Harbor by Elizabeth Ludwig (Edge of Freedom Book One)

Cara Hamilton leaves Ireland and arrives in America with nothing but a letter from her twin brother, who she had previously thought to be dead. She seems to have found friendship and maybe more in Rourke Walsh...but can he really be trusted?

This book was slow moving at times, but I did find the historical aspects interesting and overall it was well-written and suspenseful. I had never heard of the Fenian brotherhood before reading this book, and actually knew very little about Irish history, so it was very interesting in that respect. The message of forgiveness and not seeking vengeance was very evident and encouraging. I would recommend this book to any fan of historical fiction.

This book was given to me by Bethany House Publications in exchange for an honest review. I was not obligated to give it a favorable review.
