The Planter's Daughter

By: Michelle Shocklee

Narrated by: Henry Gray

Adella Rose Ellis knows her father has plans for her future, but she longs for the freedom to forge her own destiny. When the son of Luther Ellis's longtime friend arrives on the plantation to work as the new overseer, Adella can't help but fall for his charm and captivating hazel eyes. But a surprise betrothal to an older man, followed by a devastating revelation, forces Adella to choose the path that will either save her family's future or endanger the lives of the people most dear to her heart.

Seth Brantley never wanted to be an overseer. After a runaway slave shot him, ending his career as a Texas Ranger and leaving him with a painful limp, a job on the plantation owned by his father's friend is just what he needs to bide his time before heading to Oregon where a man can start over. What he hadn't bargained on was falling in love with the planter's daughter or finding that everything he once believed about Negroes wasn't true. Amid secrets unraveling and the hatching of a dangerous plan, Seth must become the very thing he'd spent the past four years chasing down: an outlaw.

The writing and how the author captures my complete attention of all her books. I love her writing and her stories!

Love it all! I've read all of her books and have suggested to all my friends to read her books!

Another great historical fiction

I love the reality woven into the historical fiction. I’ve not had a Michele Shocklee book yet that wasn’t awesome!

Interesting

I really like the author and her stories however I did not like this story. It felt like the story just stopped like there was no ending.

Great story telling.

This book is written with so much emotion and in depth characterization that it feels like you are reading about your own true friends.

Blah

Narration was terrible. Hard to listen to! The story was just...blah. Totally uninteresting. Not as good as her other books.
