An "edge of your seat thriller" Two heroes linked by generations. Two daring missions. A true story, about a female warrior in the past that will forever change who this Marine warrior is in the present.Review: 5 stars! Inspiring book about two strong women seperated by generations. Connected by blood, courage and spirit! Great Read! I love historical fiction and while I’ve read many military history books I’ve never read a military historical fiction based title. The book intertwines a connection between two strong women who bravely fought for the stars and stripes in very different times. The war of independence and Gulf war one. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the colonial side of the book more than Leah’s Iraq deployment. Her arc was engaging and enjoyable so don’t get me wrong. Betty’s story arc tied the whole thing together of course. An amazing woman to say the least. Pratt was a great antagonist that really brought the tension of the time to life. Linn was another key ingredient (I’m a huge Jeb Stewart fan so I love reading about scouts). Lastly I was very impressed with the writers ability to bring the terrain and natural state to life. You must have spent many hours in the woods to write in such a descriptive fashion!

The title character is an orphan whose background is a mystery to those who take her in. The beautiful little girl grows up through her many adventures in the old city of New Orleans such as seeing a Boeuf Gras walking through the streets of New Orleans on Lundi Gras (the day before Mardi Gras). Jane�s unique childhood experiences give readers a wonderful look at real places and events of days gone by.
