Petals on the River was a good book. It was a story about bad luck turned good. I found it captivating, wanted to keep reading it to see how each step played out. Our heroine was sent away on a slave ship for devious reasons. She is meant to serve 7 years as an indentured servant. Her trip across the ocean was trying. She is a beautiful young woman and the fowl ship crew is run by a selfish prostitute and a bully of a jailer. The jailer decides he wants our heroine for his self and the ship owners husband, both aboard, wants her for his mistress. She does survive that displeasure but the bully and the prostitute follow her off the ship and try to get rid of her. She is rescued by our hero who brings another enemy. The story does end up good tho and she is happy. She is also cleared of her charges. Good story.
