Colors of Truth by Tamera AlexanderMy rating: 💛💛💛
I enjoyed this historical fiction filled with action and secret agents during a period where emotions were still very high and on edge.
Catriona with her fiery personality which fits her Irish red her and accent and her 7-year-old sister who was just as strong and stubborn, was a favourite leading lady. I enjoyed the way she and Wade met and all the interactions thereafter.
This was a gripping tale while we travel with Catriona in her journey to start new after the loss of her family and in search of her twin. I liked that she remained strong and sure though others judged her on appearances.
I listened to the audiobook which was well delivered.

About the book:
In a town battered and bruised by war, one woman embarks upon an impossible search—and one man must face the past in the very place that almost destroyed him.
Tennessee, 1866. According to the last letter Irish immigrant Catriona O'Toole received from her twin brother, Ryan, he was being dispatched to Franklin, Tennessee, where—as a conscripted Confederate soldier—he likely endured the bloody Battle of Franklin that claimed the lives of thousands. Catriona leaves behind the lush green of their Irish homeland in search of him, with nothing to her name except the sum of cash Ryan sent to their family. Now, as the sole provider for her seven-year-old spitfire sister, Nora, Catriona hopes to reunite the siblings—the only surviving members of their devastated family.
Wade Cunningham is a former Federal soldier who now works for the newly formed United States Secret Service and is trying to uncover counterfeiting rings in the postwar South. In order to infiltrate their sophisticated enterprise, he must pose as a former Confederate in Franklin—a town where counterfeit greens run rampant. When Wade meets Catriona, he is immediately intrigued by her and the little redheaded scamp in her care—but what he doesn't anticipate is that the cash in Catriona's possession is some of the most convincing counterfeit money he's ever seen. Soon the object of Wade's affection is also the suspect in a major crime—one he's expected to prosecute.
