THE YEARNING!!!! I absolutely loved this, the only things keeping me from giving it 5 stars are:
  1. The importance placed on the Aline’s virginity. I get it, it’s period accurate, but 
    McKenna’s response after they had sex for the first time and he found out she was a virgin
    felt icky even for the time period.
  2. McKenna’s plan for revenge.
    Trying to get back at someone by forcibly impregnating them is gross.
That said, I still really loved these characters (Mrs. Faircloth especially), and I quite liked the secondary romance between Livia and Shaw.
