{More about Carolina Gold}

The war is over, but her struggle is just beginning.
Charlotte Fraser returns to her late father’s once-flourishing rice plantation on the Waccamaw River, determined to continue growing the special kind of rice known as Carolina Gold. But Fairhaven Plantation is in ruins, the bondsmen are free, and money is scarce.
To make ends meet, Charlotte reluctantly accepts a position as tutor to the young daughters of Nicholas Betancourt, heir to the neighboring Willowood Plantation. Then Nick’s quest to prove his ownership of Willowood sends Charlotte on a dangerous journey that reveals an old family mystery—and threatens all that she holds dear.
Inspired by the life of a 19th century woman rice planter, Carolina Gold continues Dorothy Love’s winning tradition of weaving together mystery, romance, and rich historical detail, bringing to life the story of one young woman’s struggle to restore her ruined world.

My Review;
 I really love this author's writing and stories. Independent but alone, with no one but herself to help her Charlotte Fraser decides that she must return to her family's ruined rice plantation  in South  Carolina called Fairhaven. Charlotte has tried to make it work but eventually realizes that she has to tutor Nicholas Betancourt's daughters who live next door. As their feelings for each other start to grow so does danger all around them. This story is one of family love and loyalty to one's heritage. Charlotte was a woman who was a very strong character and very likable. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book by Litfuse Publicity Group for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
