Margie's Comments: Kathleen Y'Barbo's Fairweather Key series comes to a satisfying conclusion with Beloved Counterfeit. The characters are those we have come to know in the previous books, and getting a glimpse into life on a Florida Key in the 1830s is an added bonus for me. I know that when I pick up a Kathleen Y'Barbo book, I'm going to find a well-researched historical with unusual settings and wonderful characters. And Beloved Counterfeit is no different. Knowing that Ruby has a huge secret that could destroy the best thing that has ever happened to her outside of her salvation kept me reading. And nearly destroyed the man she loved when he discovers that secret. The theme of forgiveness and God's love is well portrayed through the characters. Even if you haven't read the previous books in this series, each book stands alone.
I highly recommend this series If you send me an e-mail at marjorie (dot) vawter at gmail (dot) com, I'll put your name in a "hat." Next weekend I'll have a family member draw a name from the pot, and I'll send the winner the book.
Have a wonderful weekend!
