Review:
"Loggerhead . . . is a bizarre love story, one that is morally challenging . . . The story takes place in Florida during the late 1800s. The memory of the South's defeat in the Civil War is still very fresh. Peters portrays a unique perspective through the eyes of Mary, illuminating the enduring civil unrest of the era. The dialogues move the story; the Scottish dialect and word usage of the time are written eloquently. The heroine is gifted, loving, yet touched with violent, uncontrollable tendencies. She is a one of a kind character." - Readers' Favorite
"Peters steeps this yarn in period detail . . . the narrative moves along briskly, and the scenes are well-staged when jawing turns to fighting. Mary makes for an intriguing heroine: naïve, awkward, mannish, yet entranced by the more assertive Abigail . . . Readers will find themselves rooting for this Valkyrie as she mounts up for battle. A lurid, improbable, but rousing saga of a love that dared not yet speak its name." -Kirkus Reviews
