About this eBook
There's a woman here who wishes to be introduced to you Mr Pemberton . . . I should caution you, though. She has frightened off every other bachelor in Boston . . . Just remember you were warned, just as I've warned her. 1929. George and Serena Pemberton arrive in the wilds of the North Carolina mountains to build a life together in a rural logging town. Unlike any woman the timber empire has ever seen, Serena oversees crews, hunts rattlesnakes and saves her husband's life in the wilderness. But when Serena learns that she will never bear a child, the Pemberton's intensely passionate marriage begins to unravel. A course of events unfolds that will change the lives of everyone in their rural community and bring this riveting tale of love and revenge to its shocking reckoning.

I really enjoyed reading this book especially after seeing the recent film adaptation starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. The story picks up pace quite quickly with lots of twists and turns. I'd recommend this book to anyone.
