I'm so excited to tell you about this great book I just finished. This book is another historical fiction book...I just love this kind of book. You can read a great story and learn some interesting historical facts a long the way too. The book is set in 1866 and follows a young girl named Claire who is an aspiring painter. She begins her journey in New Orleans and then travels up to Nashville, Tennessee. As she seeks to distance herself from her family's past misconduct and make a new start, she encounters a life changing decision she must make....coming clean about her past life or trying to hide it.
I really enjoyed this book! Tamera Alexander did a great job pulling me into her story line and keeping me interested throughout the entire book. The book talks a lot about the art world and I found that very
interesting. Majority of the book is centered around a huge mansion
called the Belmont Mansion in Nashville, Tennessee. Tamera Alexander describes the scenes well and makes you feel as though you are right there. The characters learn so much through their journey, and many of their life lessons are difficult ones that they must overcome. I would highly recommend this book!
**I received this book free from Library Thing's Early Reviewers Program in exchange for an honest review.
