Publisher Description
The 1840s: a time of increasing social awareness, particularly for progressive cotton mill owner Adrian Bennett and his son Christopher.
One social issue Christopher has never considered is violence against women. A Robert Browning poem and a chance encounter with Katerina Valentino change everything.
Katerina fears for her life because of her father's violent behavior. When Christopher is entranced by the delicate, dark-haired beauty, he decides to rescue her - by marrying her.
But Katerina's years of abuse have left her physically and emotionally scarred, threatening the newlyweds' happiness. Is Christopher's tender affection enough to help heal Katerina's broken spirit?
This book contains graphic sex and is not suitable for readers under the age of 18.
Customer Reviews
Very touching
For a survivor of domestic violence this book created some tough moments. It’s well written and the characters have a real depth to them. I cried, I laughed and did some healing. Thank God love conquered it all. R. K. Carulli
Keeping Katerina
What a fantastic book on so many levels. It touched on the serious problem of abuse in a historical setting. The main characters were people you would be proud too know.
Not a favorite
Found the story and dialogue to be stilted and the whole storyline felt staged.
