"A Daring Sacrifice"
by Jody Hedlund





Description

In a reverse twist on the Robin Hood story, a young medieval maiden stands up for the rights of the mistreated, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. All the while, she fights against her cruel uncle who has taken over the land that is rightfully hers. Forced to live in the woods and hide with the poor people she's grown to love, she works to save and protect them, but she never anticipates falling in love with the wealthy knight who represents all she's come to despise.

Biography

Jody Hedlund is an award-winning and bestselling author of inspirational historical romances for both youth and adults.

As a busy mama-writer, she has the wonderful privilege of teaching her crew of 5 children at home. In between grading math papers and giving spelling tests, she occasionally does a load of laundry and washes dishes. When she's not busy being a mama, you can find her in front of her laptop working on another of her page-turning stories.

She loves reading almost as much as she loves writing, especially when it also involves chocolate and coffee.

My thoughts ~

I thoroughly enjoyed this reverse take on the age old story of Robinhood and his compassion for the poor. Steal from the rich to feed the poor. A bit of thievery was against the law, but someone had to provide for the poor and homeless.

Young people will love the excitement and beautiful love story that keeps the suspense flowing. I'd rate the book PG-13 due to some violence that may not be appropriate for a younger age group.

Artfully descriptive with a fast pace, there's no room for boredom in Hedlund's most recent YA novel. Don't save this one just for the younger set. It's a great read for adults!
