A Rebel Heart

Beth White has written such a wonderful post-bellum war book.  Selah Daughtry is going from Tennessee to Tupelo, Mississippi, but part of the way there, the train she is riding in derails and several people are killed and injured several others.  Levi Riggans is a passenger on the train, but he's also a Pinkerton agent.  He is instrumental in rescuing people from the train before it completely falls off the rail into the ravine.

Selah's primary purpose for going back to Ithaca plantation in Tupelo is to raise money to restore it for herself and her sisters. 

Levi met Selah on the train and is quite intrigued with her, but he has people to find and reports to file. When his business takes him to Ithaca, he is thrilled to find Selah there.

Beth has written a book with heart and with likable characters.  Her plot moves at a steady pace and keeps the reader involved to the very end of the book. This is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and a plantation mansion to restore.  My appreciation goes to Revell for providing the galley I read and for allowing me to review it.
