title: Loggerhead: A Mary Fisher Novel (Green Flourish) (Volume 6)
author:  T. A. Peters 
description: "Loggerhead . . . is a bizarre love story, one that is morally challenging . . .The story takes place in Florida during the late 1800s. The memory of the South's defeat in the Civil War is still very fresh. Peters portrays a unique perspective through the eyes of Mary, illuminating the enduring civil unrest of the era. The dialogues move the story; the Scottish dialect and word usage of the time are written eloquently. The heroine is gifted, loving, yet touched with violent, uncontrollable tendencies.  She is a one of a kind character." - <i>Readers' Favorite</i><br /><br />"Peters steeps this yarn in period detail . . . the narrative moves along briskly, and the scenes are well-staged when jawing turns to fighting. Mary makes for an intriguing heroine: nave, awkward, mannish, yet entranced by the more assertive Abigail . . . Readers will find themselves rooting for this Valkyrie as she mounts up for battle.<span> </span>A lurid, improbable, but rousing saga of a love that dared not yet speak its name."<span> </span>-<i>Kirkus Reviews</i>
