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

My review;
"The Mark of the King" by author Jocelyn Green is the story of a woman who has to make hard decisions in her life and has to live through many horrors because of them. 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.
