by M.L. Tyndall

The story unfolds with Faith and her sisters being moved to Charles Towne to live. Their mother has past on, and their father is always out to sea. Much to the daughters dismay, the sea has always been their father’s first love.

With an absentee father and one sister married to an abusive man, Faith feels she must protect her sisters and her self from being forced into bad marriages as well. Faith has a strategy to build enough wealth to keep her and her sisters from being forced to marry.

Before the Admiral goes to sea, he asks Captain Waite (Dajon) to become guardian over his three daughters. Unknown to the Admiral, the Captain and Faith have had a previous encounter – Faith knows exactly who Dajon is, but Dajon, isn’t quite sure if she is the one. (No spoilers here.)

I loved this book. If I were to grade it I would give it an A+.

All the characters are wonderfully created. Between the character development and Ms. Tyndall’s terminology, it was like watching a play. I could see everything she described and felt what the characters were feeling.

I look forward to reading her next book that will come out in fall of 2009.
