I was quickly drawn into the story and was HELD there for the whole thing. ~ Why did this sit on my shelf for a few years before I ever read it? I’ll never know. As he battles demons within himself, both of them must deal with fears of betrayal.
One of them being that while he was born in the South, he fought for the North. Ridley Cooper, branded a traitor and dreaming of learning the ‘gift’ that Bob Green, Belle Meade’s horse trainer and former slave, has with horses, enters Belle Meade with a host of secrets. But another newcomer to Belle Meade draws her interest, a young man that, although he is from the South, seems anything but a Southern gentleman. This was not to be the safe haven that she had hoped it would be. When she arrives and finds out from Confederate General William Giles Harding why he agreed to her coming, she is disillusioned and worried. But she is relieved to accept the invitation by ‘Aunt’ Elizabeth Harding to be housekeeper at Belle Meade Plantation.

It was so good and I look forward to reading the rest of the series. I quickly understood why as I was whisked into the world of the Abbey- Martin, Bartholomew and the others.

But what they don’t know yet is that Cluny the Scourge is nearing their valley. Redwall by Brian Jacques- At Redwall Abbey, everything is peaceful and the inhabitants prepare to celebrate the Summer of the Late Rose.
It was rather a stellar month for reading exceptional books, let me tell you. But, at last, I have finished the book reviews for what I read in March. Once again, it’s been far too long since I got any sort of post here on SGL.
