Arriving penniless in the South, Prosperity is dismayed to find David married to someone else.

Or will her life be upended by circumstance yet again?

Summary
I loved this book about a strong woman who faces many hardships. Prosperity Jones has already lost her father to the sea and now her mother has died, leaving Prosperity penniless and with no living family who cares for her. She decides to sail to Key West where her fiance is stationed in the army. The shocking news she receives upon her arrival is devastating. I couldn't wait to find out how the story would end. I loved the setting and the characters. I will read more of Christine Johnson's books in the future!
