A really great historical romance set in Mississippi at the beginning of the Civil War. Although the heroine is a bit hard to really really like, I found myself really pulling for her and Jackson at the end of the book. I look forward to reading the sequel to this book very much. Rosemary Rogers is one of the best historical romance writers I have come across over the years and you will be hard pressed to find a more consistent writer, her books are always entertaining and sensual without being over the top. Read this book, you will not be disappointed!!

Two presidents court the Mississippi representative, but David accepts Lincoln's offer of advisor on the war council. Before he leaves for DC, David decides to free his slaves as a symbolic gesture. Though his daughter Cameron bursts with pride over her father's courageous actions, his son Grant detests the destruction of his privileged life. In a drunken ire, he kills his father, but persuades authorities that an accident occurred.Grant denies Cameron's insistence that their father was freeing the slaves because he intends to sell them. However, Grant fails to recognize his sister's passion for honoring her father's wishes and see the slaves to safety and freedom.

As they journey together, their love flourishes while they struggle to survive one harrowing experience after another.Most readers realize that a visit to Rosemary Rogers' neighborhood is always a sure shot for finding a powerfully enjoyable novel. Her latest tale, AN HONORABLE MAN, may be her best as this Civil War tale contains a terrific plot, a feel for the era, two delightful lead protagonists, a nasty villain, and a tremendous support cast. Fans of historical romance will gain much satisfaction with this superior Americana story.Harriet Klausner
