Abolitionist Felicity Phelps, after
watching her parents tragically
murdered attempting to aid a family of
runners, escapes the perils of war when
she travels abroad seeking a fresh start.
Discouraged and brokenhearted,
Felicity discovers that life in Victorian
England is not as charming as she was
lead to believe as a child by her
beloved grandmother.
Human suffering exists in England,
just as it had in her beloved South.
The poor are forced to live in
warehouses, while those of means --
the elite of society -- enjoy a life filled
with power, lust, and greed.
She soon discovers that even the good
vicar, a man Felicity trusts and admires,
is also guilty of lies and deceit, all the
while claiming virtues beyond reproach.

Florida (11/3/2003) “Virtuous Dove”, wow, I don’t even know
where to begin. The novel was splendid! Taking place during the
nineteenth century, the novel portrays the lives of men and women,
both young and old, in the most outstanding way. Barely making it
through the first chapter, I completely became attached to the
characters. The way Linda Daly created the characters; it made me
feel as if I had known them my entire life! It takes a great and eminent
author to create that effect. Whether you are interested in the Civil
War or not, you will love the book! Take my word for it!
Number 1 book

Virginia (11/3/2003) After I read the first review, I decided to pick
the book up myself. Let me tell you, Adam is not mistaken. "Virtous
Dove" is the best book I have ever read. The author, Linda Daly,
created a brilliant masterpiece, that not only teaches you about the
civil war, but how other people dealed with the situations during this
era. She does a magnificent job creating each image, and describing
each place and event. I fell in love with the characters instantly. The
way Mrs. Daly expresses each characters emotions in great depth, it's
unbelievable. The characters became closer than friends, I thought of
them as my family. Please take my advice, read the book. I guarantee
you'll love it just as much as I have.
Virtuous Dove
Adam
Michigan (10/20/2003) One of the most compelling, attention
grabbing books I've read in a long time. A must read for anyone
interested in the Victorian / Civil War era. As a man, and an avid
reader, this would not have been a book I would normally purchase.
Being more into action and adventure. My wife however, after reading
it, just raved about it, and encouraged me to read it as well. Well, all I
got to say is WOW!! It captures your imagination from the first page
and transports you right there, as if you were a part of the story. If you
have'nt read this book yet, then get it. Like myself you will not regret
it. Man or woman its an excellent read.
