This is book 2 of a great series.This is the second book of the Brides of Lehigh Canal series. The author brings you to experience (in words) how living on a canal in the early days of this century could be very difficult depending on your type of job. In those days, there were workers on the canal who worked long days doing tedious, and mostly backbreaking work. Betsy, the main character of Betsy's Return, was a character from the first book (Kelly's Chance) who was self centered in many ways. In the second book you will find that she has matured, left the self-centeredness behind, lives in New York City and faces new challenges when she finds out about her ailing father. She returns home to face an uncertain future but everything will work out for the best. I enjoyed this book, as well as the other two in the series. Readers, be sure to also read the the first Book which I have also posted " Kelly's Choice" and the third book of the series, Sarah's Choice. Sarah is the sister of Kelly. I have posted all 3 books of this Series " Brides of Lehigh Canal". I have posted all three books in this series Kelly's Chance, Betsy's Return and Sarah's Choice. I have found this historical fiction series fascinating because it tells of how hard and labor intensive the lives of the canal workers were and is very descriptive of the early days of the Lehigh Canal.
