The Miami River of the 1880s, a wilderness of tropical blooms, terrifying reptiles, and devastating storms. Three sisters must make their way in this untamed strip of land between the Everglades and Atlantic Ocean. Aphrodite hates this hell of searing heat and stinging insects. She will capture a rich man, any rich man, and leave South Floridaโs relentless sun far behind. Hera loves the paradise of blue skies, wild orchids, and balmy breezes. She intends to live a quiet life with Jack Spode, even if she has to entrap him to keep him. Theena, at home in the glades or on the bay, wants only to love and be loved. Fearing the taint of her motherโs scandalous past, she strives to live a life of virtue and integrity, yet she betrays Randolph, the man she should love, and covets Jack, the man she shouldnโt. From a girl too desperate to be wise she becomes, through pain and heartbreak, a woman who at last finds her honor and her dreams. Once again, Gretchen Craig presents a page-turning historical novel of uncommon intelligence and insight. Theena and her sisters are flawed, engrossing, and totally believable.
