At a time\n when Britain&#8217;s imperial influence in India was sparking brutal clashes \non both sides, no one could have expected Rena, an Indian woman, to \nmarry a British officer nor do they understand her decision to follow \nher mother-in-law to England after her husband&#8217;s tragic death.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><align=\"justify\">\nOnce the two widows are in Abbotsville, the stern yet compassionate Lord Barric attempts to help them despite his better judgment. Soon he is torn between the demands of reputation and his increasing desire to \ncapture Rena&#8217;s heart for his own.\n\n<\/align=\"justify\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My Thoughts:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p align=\"justify\">I really enjoyed <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2T9rEOU\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Shadow Among Sheaves<\/a>.  The re-setting of the story of Boaz and Ruth into England with an Indian widow was thought provoking.   The characters were well developed and the writing was vivid.  Over all I found the story engaging and would recommend it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><align=\"justify\">I received a free digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.<\/align=\"justify\"><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the Book: A Timeless, Beautiful Allegory of the Biblical Love Story of Ruth and Boaz The Great Rebellion of 1857 was a remarkably bloody business.
