Review: Colors of Truth

Colors of Truth by Tamera Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 out of 5 stars - If you ask me about this book, I'll tell you to read it.

Tamera Alexander really did her research for Colors of Truth. There were several different historical stories throughout this book: post Civil War reconstruction, Irish immigrants, counterfeiting, the beginnings of the Secret Service, and the McGavock Civil War Cemetery. While I knew the basics of some of these topics, it was very interesting to learn about the others.

When Catriona O'Toole immigrates from Ireland with her sister, Nora, she's faced with many challenges along the way. She has just lost all members of her family remaining in Ireland, and she's facing an unknown with the life of her brother, Ryan. Ryan was conscripted into the Confederate Army and fought in the Battle of Franklin in Tennessee where thousands of men died.

I really enjoyed reading the story and watching the relationship develop between Catriona O'Toole and Wade Cunningham. There's an initial distrust of Wade on Catriona's part, but they eventually decide to be friends. That friendship develops into strong feelings and eventually a happy ending with a marriage.

After reading this book, I decided to go back and read the first 2 books/novellas in the series. I look forward to reading the next book to come out as well.
