The Mark of the King

by Jocelyn Green   Historical Fiction Bethany House Life in this new world requires more strength than she ever imagined. After the death of her client, midwife Julianne Chevalier is imprisoned and branded, marking her as a criminal beyond redemption. Hoping to reunite with her brother, a soldier, she trades her life sentence for exile to the fledgling French colony of Louisiana. The price of her transport, however, is a forced marriage to a fellow convict. New Orleans is nothing like Julianne expects. The settlement is steeped in mud and mosquitoes, and there is no news of her brother, Benjamin. When tragedy strikes, she turns to military officer Marc-Paul Girard for help, but does he know more about her brother than he will admit? With her dreams shattered, Julianne must find her way in this dangerous land, where only grace---and love---can overcome the stigma of the king's mark upon her shoulder. "Exquisitely penned, this look at colonial Louisiana is enhanced by Green's attention to detail, creating memorable characters and vivid scenes. . . . Rich with history and redemption, Green's latest is ideal for fans of Lynn Austin or Laura Frantz." ---RT Book Reviews   Books are available to US bloggers and e-book everywhere.

When she is left alone more than once in a short time she suffers more than anyone should have to. Would she survive in a strange world. Will she ever find a life that she will be safe with? Is she strong enough? I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for a review and all opinions are mine.
