About this listen

In 1774, Juliet Catesby lives with her father and sister at Royal Vale, the James River plantation founded by her Virginia family over a century before. Indigo cultivation is her foremost concern, though its export tethers her family to the powerful Buchanan clan of Glasgow, Scotland. When the heir of the Buchanan firm arrives on their shores, Juliet discovers that her father has secretly arranged for one of his daughters to marry the Scot as a means of canceling the family's debt. Confident it will be her younger, lovelier sister, Juliet is appalled when Leith Buchanan selects her instead.
Despite her initial refusal of him, an ensuing altercation forces Juliet to flee Virginia. Agreeing to marry, she sails with Leith to Scotland, hopeful of a better match for her sister, who accompanies her. But once in Glasgow and faced with the contentious, powerful Buchanan clan, she realizes that the man who saved her from financial ruin and scandal is the very one she must now save in return.

Another Captivating Historical Tale

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Indigo Heiress is another jewel from Laura Frantz, one of the best authors of historical fiction. She has a gift for bringing history to life with her vivid descriptions, well-researched settings, and deep, emotional storytelling. Her writing makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the past, experiencing the world just as her characters do.

This book takes place in 1774 and follows Juliet Catesby, a strong and determined heroine who must make difficult choices to save her family. The mix of romance, adventure, and history kept me hooked from the very first page. The settings, colonial Virginia and Scotland, are beautifully described, and the historical details make everything feel real.

The audiobook version is good. Pilar Witherspoon does a great job as the narrator.

If you love clean historical fiction with rich detail, well-developed characters, and a touch of romance, this book is a must-read. Laura Frantz never disappoints.
