Josiah Cole, a small dockside trader, is prepared to gamble everything to join the big players of the city. But he needs capital and a well connected wife.

But he needs capital and a well-connected wife. Marriage to Frances Scott is a mutually convenient solution. Trading her social contacts for Josiah's protection, Frances finds her life and fortune dependent on the respectable trade of sugar, rum, and slaves. Into her new world comes Mehuru, once a priest in the ancient African kingdom of Yoruba, now a slave in England. From opposite ends of the earth, despite the difference in status, Mehuru and Frances confront each other and their need for love and liberty.Binding Type: Paperback

Super cute!
Format: Hardcover
The story is very cute plus I didn't realize that female reindeer are the ones that have antlers during the winter so I learned something new! The illustrations are beautiful as well. the only reason I went with 4 stars instead of 5 was because the story had a really great start but then at the end fell a little flat.
