Jill G. Hall, the author of “The Green Lace Corset” has written an intriguing and captivating novel. The genres for this novel are Historical Fiction, Romance, Women’s Fiction and Fiction. The author vividly describes two different timelines and two different characters, who must make serious decisions in their lives. This is the third in a series of books, and can be read alone. The author describes her colorful and dramatic characters as complex, complicated, courageous, and brave.

In 1885, Sally Sue is riding a train to visit her aunt, and is aware there is a handsome familiar man sitting in her car. She offers him half her sandwich and then realizes that this is the very same man that had robbed the bank she was in, that someone was killed. Suddenly Sally Sue finds herself kidnapped and headed to the Wild West.

Back to the present, 135 years later, Anne McFarland is an artist who lives in San Francisco, who loves to browse in off-beat stores to look for objects that can be used in her art. She is applying for an art position and special program at the museum. One of the things that catches Anne’s eye is a sexy green and black lace corset. Anne immediately wonders about the history of this corset.

Both Sally Sue and Anne have to address their current problems and make decisions that are very difficult. There are twists and turns, adventure, and suspense that are in this story. I appreciate that Jill G. Hall discusses the importance of self-worth, family, sisterhood, friendship, love and hope. I would highly recommend this thought-provoking novel.
