pick
I've always enjoyed historical fiction and had no doubt that I would enjoy this book but I seriously underestimated just how much I would enjoy it! I doled out bite size portions of this book trying to make it last. Like a fine box of chocolates, I wanted to devour it while not wanting it to be finished! And since one (book) isn't enough, I'm thankful that there is more with In Pieces being the 1st of a series!

Set in 1793 Boston, this book tells the story of the beautiful, talented, and recently orphaned Molly Chase and merchant sailor Josiah Robb.
Josiah and his family are the closest thing to a family that Molly has left but will scandal and proper decorum force Molly to leave?
With a host of characters who take both their religion and their politics seriously, this book is wonderfully researched and beautifully written. With a perfect blend of intrigue and scandal, mystery and history, romance and humor... This book is strong and complex.
The strong and spunky Molly is my favorite character, best supporting character would be Josiah, but honorable mention has to go to James and Prudence!
This story captured my attention right away and captured my heart soon after. The depth and development of this story, these characters, is an astonishing find and especially rare for a debut novel. Rhonda Ortiz writes like a seasoned pro and I can't wait to read more about the adventures of Molly and Josiah!
