The Mark of the King by Jocelyn Green

“The 18th-century Old and New Worlds burst off the pages in the latest historical fiction treasure from Green (the Heroines Behind the Lines series). Young midwife Julianne Chevalier is unjustly condemned and branded a criminal in 1719 Paris. She travels to the French colony of Louisiana on a ship full of convicts. In the backwater settlement of New Orleans, she attempts to make a life while searching for her brother, who had earlier been stationed there as a soldier. When she confronts natural and human dangers, Capt. Marc-Paul Girard befriends and protects Julianne, and soon falls in love with her.” ~ Publishers Weekly

My two cents: Another page-turner. As a Louisiana native, I especially appreciated the vivid and accurate descriptions of the sticky, humid setting—the deep South vibrates with mosquito buzzing and bayou water ripples in this book. Be transported three hundred years back into colonial New Orleans, where law and order don’t necessarily go together, and where the characters must come to grips with the reality of their faith. Simply masterful—grab any Jocelyn Green book you can find. This one also won the 2017 Christy in its category.
