The Creole Princess by Beth White

The Creole Princess takes us to a perilous time in the Gulf Coast of America.  The story takes place during the late 1700s.  The story has many twists and turns with a lot of characters. 
White does an excellent job or portraying realistic spiritual struggles and growth.  She gives a lot of historical detail to this little known part of American history.  She weaves into the story interesting facts regarding social status, political climate, dress and foods of the Gulf Coast culture as well as spiritual insights. 

The story is intriguing, however some characters were not fully developed.  Some of the main characters stories ended abruptly or the characters did not behave in a manner that was realistic.  The book did not tell the why and how about some of the key events that led up to where the main characters are at the point of this story.  I’ve read the first book in this series and the answers are not there either.  So I kept waiting for things to be revealed or made clear or explained and it didn’t happen.  This brought a feeling of confusion and frustration.

I received this book through Revell book publishers and was not required to write a positive review.
