Description

Forced to Spy for Grave Robbers
True Colors – Fiction Based on Strange-But-True History
 
In 1824, Josephine Clayton is considered dead by everyone in her Massachusetts village—especially the doctor she has assisted for several months. Yet, she is still very much alive.
 
After the doctor’s illegal dealing with his body snatcher to obtain her body, Josephine awakens, positioned as the next corpse for his research. To cover up his crime, the doctor tries to kill her, but Josephine begs to be spared. They strike a deal—Josephine will leave her village and work at a distant cotton mill. All the while, she’ll await her true mission—posing as a mourner to help the body snatcher procure her replacement.
 
At the mill though, Josephine is praised for her medical remedies among the other female workers, gaining attention from the handsome factory manager, Braham Taylor. Yet, when Braham’s own loved one becomes the prey for the next grave robbing, Josie must make a choice that could put her dark past behind her or steal away the promise of any future at all.
 
What price will Josie pay for love when her secrets begin to unravel?

    Yellow Lantern

    Published by Christena on Dec 19, 2019

    I liked this book and finished it though at times I felt it made little sense and moved along too slowly. It seemed every character was keeping some kind of secret for someone. There wasn’t a great focus on Christianity or living out Christian principles. The mill did close on Sunday and all the workers were expected to attend church. Also, Josie shows she has a conscience when someone she cares about dies and she is to assist with the grave robbing.
