Review The Indenture of Ivy ONeil by Diane Helentjaris is a fine work of historical fiction that brings American colonial history to colorful life, warts and all. She gives voice to those who, like the African slaves, have been left off the pages of the history books, but whose labors are what truly built the nation. I found this book a riveting read." - Charles Ray, author. "This historical novel is a one-sit read. Settle down for a good read without a care in the world beyond the Irish lass, Ivy ONeill, as she becomes an indentured servant in the New World." Lenora Rain-Lee Good, author, The Brides Gate and Other Assorted Writings "A fun, engrossing read recounted in lovely language and imagery. Helentjaris presents a picture of Colonial Maryland tobacco plantation life and the gruelling hardships of a young woman trying to navigate a life she did not choose." - Marcella Fierro, MD.The Indenture of Ivy ONeill by Diane Helentjaris is a well-written historical novel. In 1690 Ireland, British soldiers come and turn Ivy ONeills life upside down. The author has researched this period well and captured the essence of Ireland and Maryland with fine details, painting a realistic world filled with adventure, danger, and love. I loved the ending and didnt want this story to end. I highly recommend this masterfully written story! Five out of five stars! -Patty Apostolides, MFA, Author and Director HWGW.
