I first read this book as a dreamy teenage girl, who being filled with romance and longings, was a prime candidate for such a passionate story of a woman in search of fulfullment and identity. That was over 20 years ago, and this lovely story still brings home to me that same inspirational feeling of departing on some grand adventure! Delta Blood is the first in Barbara Ferry Johnson's trilogy centering on the beautiful Leah. The heroine displays the utterly feminine charms of stubborn hope and fragile strength in a man's world. This book is still a cherished favorite today and has the unmistakable appeal of a true romantic classic!

This is the first book I've read by Johnson, and I have picked up several others now. This book is about Tara who was at a novice abbey and is taken by viking invaders. She ends up married to the cheftain Rorik.(one of the parts that I enjoyed was how he tricked her into marrying him) Tara falls in love with Rorik then they are torn apart and they search for each other. I couldn't put this book down. It is worth reading!!
