Product Description

For her sixteenth birthday, Damita De Salvado receives a beautiful slave girl, Rissa, but mistreats her, revealing Damita's prejudice and hardening Rissa's heart. When her family experiences financial hardships, Damita grudgingly sells Rissa to a mysterious Christian doctor, Jefferson Whitman, who is Rissa's adopted brother. Now the tables have turned: Rissa is a wealthy, free woman, while Damita's family struggles to keep the plantation. Will both women find the love and security they long for?

2.0 out of 5 stars They are SIBLINGS!!!, October 29, 2005

By	Deborah "Books, Movies and Chinese Food" (Reston, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

one thing that bugged the heck out of me in this book was that while Rissa has agreed to be known as the daughter of the doctor and Jefferson is the adopted son of the doctor, therefore making them brother and sister, Rissa, contiunally throughout the book, refuses to acknowledge this and gets mad everytime Jefferson brings it up. i don't care that she was falling in love with him (which is rather icky when adopted siblings fall in love with in other in any case), he is still her brother if the father ADOPTED HIM and is her BIRTH FATHER. it was very annoying.

i preferred the Cheney Duvall Series over this series. and why does it say this book is by Morris, Gilbert & J. Landon Ferguson? the picture clearly shows it's Gilbert and Lynn Morris.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Immortelles":Damita (The Creoles Series #2), January 18, 2008

By	Zinaida Chekerisov "Zina" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Immortelles: Damita (The Creoles Series #2) (Paperback)

This book was exactly what I had expected. It is sincere and encouraging spiritual help. It's like talking to a friend when you don't have one around physically. Also, I love G.Morris's sense of humor. He is very open and nonjudgemental Chistian writer; that is mostly what attracts me in his books. The plot is fasinating, as usual, with his books. You are never bored till the end, and the end is always optimistic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story but confilcting information, July 23, 2007

By	J. Willis (Everett, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I read the book and enjoyed it. However the one thing that bothered me about the book, is that it seemed as if the authors focused only on the plot of this book and not on the information that they put into their first book, in areas where the subject matter overlapped.
Both of Chantel's parents were dead and all she had left, come graduation, was a step-mother. The Exiles: Chantel (The Creoles, Book 1) So how was she visiting with her parents at graduation?
I know this seems like a small matter, and it doesn't really affect the plot of this story. But if someone is going to write a series I would appreciate it if they took the time to make sure that the books didn't conflict each other.
