Living in North Carolina and and teaching NC history, I welcomed the chance to read this historical fiction, the Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn. My preference is a strong female character instead of a wimpy, whining women. Tamsen surely fit the bill. She was a ball of fire and bit too headstrong for her cruel demanding step-father. He was abusive to her mother and selfishly attempted to marry Tamsen off to a wealthy land owner from Virginia. Fate placed Cade and Jesse Bird in her path as she tried to escape the wrath of Hezekiah Parrish. Fleeing Charlotte Towne after the murder of her mother, she carries her mother's secrets with her in a metal box. A shocking revelation ends the book well. Bravo.
