The manuscript read more like a novel than a research project. Praise from you is high praise. I had hinted—rather strongly—that Mr.
Taylor Morgan was exactly my type. My type of research assistant, that is. Shall we say Friday, at one? Morgan teaches until twelve thirty. Your red hair led me to you in the first place. The professor rose and pulled out a chair for me, and Taylor Morgan stood, too, his blue eyes smiling at me from behind a pair of chic wire-rimmed glasses. He was wearing a cotton shirt and khakis, looking completely cool and elegant even in the city heat, and as I slid into my chair my mind stuttered and went blank.
So I looked at the professor instead. He was middle-aged, soft, and infinitely respectable, and nothing about him gave me the tingles—except the fact that he liked my work. Cahira lived in the thirteenth century, Anika in the fifteenth, Aidan in the seventeenth, and Flanna in the nineteenth.
I sipped from my water glass, waiting for some kind of response. Or maybe I can talk to my adviser about setting up some sort of independent study. I have access to the Internet, I have a computer—such technology was completely unimaginable until this century. In she was living in Batavia, a Dutch colony on the island of Java in Indonesia, and the islands were at peace. I took a deep breath as my gaze moved into his. While he and the professor ordered sandwiches and soft drinks, I studied my outline. In , when Aidan turned fourteen, her parents risked everything to escape the plague that killed over twelve thousand Londoners that summer.
Upon their arrival in Batavia, Aidan and Lili found themselves with no patron, no resources, and no social welfare system in a colony that prided itself on industry and social order.

This was the first expedition that Abel Tasman had and the place that was called Van Diemen's Land is now called Tasmania. My thoughts on this book: I enjoyed this novel, I found it to be well written and I liked how the characters were portrayed especially Aidan as very strong willed women who knew what she wanted to do in her life and fought to get it.
The story was well researched and was easy to read. The only problem I had was that this is book 2 in the series and as I had not read 1,some things didn't make sense. I will definitely read more of this author. I highly recommend it. Mar 02, Jerry rated it really liked it. Angela Elwell Hunt continues her multiple-era historical saga of Cahira O'Connor's standard-defying female descendants with The Golden Cross , part two of a trilogy. It actually works quite well; although it did take me longer than usual to finish it, it was just as engaging and engrossing as the first volume in the series.
You don't really have to even read part one to understand part two, although the prologue may seem slightly confusing. In short, if you're looking for a good Christian historical fiction book to read, give this a try. Feb 08, Carol rated it it was amazing. The second book in the Heirs of Cahira O'Connor series was very good.
The historic part of the book was interesting without being all consuming. It was an adventurous sea voyage of discovery, with a daring twist. I felt I was able to get closer to the characters in this book than in the first book. They were more realistic and down to earth. I liked the fact that the main character was dissatisfied with her unfortunate lot in life and when the opportunity came to change things in the form of a t The second book in the Heirs of Cahira O'Connor series was very good.
I liked the fact that the main character was dissatisfied with her unfortunate lot in life and when the opportunity came to change things in the form of a true fatherly gentleman, she grabbed what was offered and, inspite of opposition, she made something of her life.
In the process she found the Lord's blessings, including love, when she let Him work in her life. I'm looking forward to reading the third book in this series. The second was better than the first. Hopefully the third will be even better than the second. This is the second book in a four series call Heirs of Cahira O'Conner series.

She discovers her ability, love and truth about surrendering to God. I wasn't sure what to expect from this one.
It seemed like another sappy Christian romance, but once I got into it, it was somewhat compelling. I liked the characters and the story line was fairly easy to follow and somewhat predictable. The historical aspect about the early days of cartography and the mapping of the globe was interesting. It's a light, easy read, but nothing stellar. I liked the characters and it was a nice diversion.
This is the second of the Heirs of Cahira O'Connor series. I h I wasn't sure what to expect from this one. I have not read the first one, The Silver Sword. While I enjoyed this one, the jury is still out on whether I'll look for the others. Nov 20, Jeni Enjaian rated it liked it Shelves: I read this book long ago and enjoyed it then. However, after the immense disappointment of the first book in the series, as well as another book by this same author, I have chosen not to waste time on reading the remainder of the series.
