I'm surprised by just how much I enjoyed this story since it does not have the usual sort of ending one would expect.

And, I'm glad it ended the way it did, just surprised.

The historical setting is not one I've read often with a character's cures behind what they were.

If you enjoy historical fiction you should definitely check it this book!I

There are some violent descriptions so 16/18 up wild likely be best.

I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

Set in the time period of the French and Indian war comes a captivating historical story. Catherine- Stands-Apart is caught between many loyalties to her father, her siblings, her mother's people and her past love. Amidst a war that brings hardship to her front door, she's also running her father's trading post.
With beautiful descriptive passages that transport you from a trading post on a journey that is fraught with danger. When her former love comes back Catherine must come to many decisions some of which are heartbreaking. " She tallied the sum of what she had forsaken customs traditions family."
The most important lesson that Catherine learned is that God is with you all the time and He will never forsake you even when life doesn't go as planned. She also learned that she had to forgive in order to move on in her life.
I was part of a launch team and received a complimentary book. All comments are my own. ( )

This book is rich in detail. I was taken on a journey to a time in history that I was not familiar with. The author did a wonderful job of describing the differences in the culture of the British/Mohawk/French/Canadian conflict. I LOVED how she was able to explain the customs and why they reacted differently to situations.

This book is not what I expected. For some reason, I thought it was a romance, but it is not. Love is a central part of the book and the different ways to care about another. Catherine comes to a better understanding of her part in the love of the people she cares about.

I could picture myself there with the characters. Jocelyn Green paints a picture that I could visualize. I don't get that experience with many books that I read.

I give this book a solid recommendation. There is war violence, but it is not described in detail. It also alludes to torture and the taking of scalps.

Between Two Shores by Jocelyn Green is a stand-alone novel. Set during the time of the French and Indian War. Catherine Duval is the daughter of a Mohawk mother and French father. She has always been a part of both worlds, now she is forced to take sides in a war where she would rather be a neutral. Samuel Crane, a British prisoner and her ex-fiancé, claims to have information that will end the war. When he asks Catherine to help him escape, she must decide were her loyalties lie. I really enjoyed learning more about the history of the Seven Years’ War. The interaction of Catherine and her siblings, and the growth of character that they all showed was amazing to watch. One scene at the river bordered on improper but other than that the book was great.

I received this book from the author in exchange for my honest review. ( )

Without divulging any spoilers, I will say this story will keep you on the edge of your seat and be prepared for a plot twist. Strong female characters abound in this story despite the time period. The main character is a young female that takes a stand, knows what she is capable of and never backs down.

It is historical fiction with Christian themes throughout. I really like that the author doesn't hold back, as it is not a fluffy storyline. It is messy, descriptive and raw. It doesn't cross any lines, but also paints a realistic picture of the time period. Many strong female characters including the main character. Without giving any details or spoilers, my recommendation is to read this book if you like historical fiction about war and don't like fairytale endings. ( )
