This book was a gift for my granddaughter who is in social work and I did not use it personally so I cannot rate it from personal reading experience.

Aurore Gerritsen wishes to set the family record straight about her 77 year history despite the fact that it is likely to shock and dismay many of her family members. The secrets she has lived and kept close for much of her life promise to shock and possibly divide her influential New Orleans family and society in general. The author has mirrored racial attitudes and prejudices that are often painful to read about as well as descriptions of spousal abuse. The book has many twists and turns and when it is finished the reader will want to immediately go to the sequel Rising Tides to get "the rest of the story." As with every Emilie Richards book I have read, I found this one well written, well plotted and never predictable. She always tells a great story.

When an unexpected inheritance elevates her family to the ranks of the aristocracy, Amelia Hathaway discovers that tending to her younger sisters and wayward brother challenges her patience and energy. Even more challenging is the attraction she feels for the tall, dark and dangerously handsome Cam Rohan. Wealthy beyond most men's dreams, Cam has tired of society's petty restrictions and longs to return to his Gypsy roots. When Amelia appeals to him for help, he intends to offer only friendship, but intentions are no match for the desire that blindsides them both. Can a man who spurns tradition be tempted into that most time-honored arrangement: marriage? First in a series of four books about the Hathaways of Hampshire in the 1800s.
