Lady in the Mist by Laurie Alice Eakes
Amazing book!
Tabitha Eckles is a midwife in Virginia in 1809, and she’s single. This is a huge deal, it simply wasn’t done back then. A midwife had to be married. Tabitha was able to find a way around that since there wasn’t anyone else that could be of service. Being a midwife ran in her family and she was the only one left.
Dominick Cherrett is a redemptioner from England complete with secrets and good looks.
Their paths cross in the mist from the ocean and life gets exciting. From threats on Tabitha’s life and an old love reappearing, and village men disappearing you aren’t quite sure who the bad guy is.
Eakes writes with beauty using senses not ordinarily tapped by writers. She brings her books to life with more than, ‘the mist was thick ’ with lines like, “A hint of sun glowed along the line between sea and sky, turning the sand to a silvery gray and the mist to tendrils of gauze.”
This reader came away delighted with this love story.
