After the devastating trauma she suffered in Olivia, Mourning and finally knowing the reality with which she must contend, Olivia strives to rebuild herself – emotionally, socially, and financially.
She seeks a new life in Detroit, the young and exciting city on a river where she has come to feel at home. New friends help the healing process, while she continues to search for the two people she loves, who have disappeared from her life. She finds some solace in helping fugitive slaves escape over the river to Canada. She believes, as one of her new friends says, “In this time and place it is the most worthy thing a person can do.”
Olivia remains a compelling protagonist on a journey to find a way to do the right thing in a world in which so much is wrong.

Book 1 - Olivia, Mourning (Historical - 1840s)

Yael is a great writer. I enjoyed the subject matter very much although I was appalled by the way people were treated at times. The second book paled a bit after the first one, Olivia Mourning. Still, the history of the people and the settling of the land is very interesting. I look forward to the third and fourth books.

Interesting book, hard to put down. Good details of the Underground Railroad and the dangers faced by everyone involved. It's worth reading.

Excellent series! I learned about the Underground Railroad and the people who ran it without looking for reward. A great story and characters. I was only sad that the final book came to an end.

I would have given this book five starts but there were pages missing. There were 6 pages at a time in two or three chunks.
Amazon needs to get it's act together this is the second book i've had an issue with.

Gripping story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 30, 2015

Just about to read the third in the series & hope it's as good as the first two. Gripping story, one you just have to know what happens next. Very smart of them to put the first one free, you just have to buy the other two!

A really good follow on from Olivia series book 1. The author keeps you captivated throughout and the unlikely events in the book adds to this.
I would highly recommend this book.

I read the first book in this series, and was sufficiently interested to download this one. The interest faded. I couldn't keep a fondness for the characters and was disappointed in the whole story.
