The Uncertain Season

Written by Ann Howard Creel

Narrated by Brittany Pressley

The Hurricane of 1900 devastated Galveston Island, but a storm of betrayal is still brewing.

Nineteen-year-old Grace’s golden age is just beginning. She and her mother live a privileged life. Beautiful and talented, Grace is looking forward to a pleasant summer celebrating her engagement to a wealthy young gentleman.

But when her lovely, charming, and disgraced cousin Etta arrives, Grace finds her place in society—and in her mother’s heart—threatened. Etta enchants everyone as she maneuvers to secure a station in Galveston’s upper echelons. Grace, in a reckless moment, reveals Etta’s scandalous past, and as punishment, she’s sent to work in Galveston’s back alleys, helping the poor. There, a silent waif known only as Miss Girl opens Grace’s eyes to new love and purpose. She’s determined to save this girl who lost her entire family in the hurricane and now slips along the shadows of the unfinished seawall with a mysterious resolve.

Soon, the lives of the three young women will converge as betrayal, mistaken identity, and a family secret sweep them toward a future that defies all expectations.

Reviews for The Uncertain Season

[Hope Borchardt Meyer · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I really like the characters and story line. I just didn’t like the ending. I felt like the reader was left hanging wondering what ends up happening. Unless the author is leaving open for a sequel... it’s still worth the read but you may be disappointed with the ending.

I mostly Kindle-audio read this book and it was quite an enjoyable experience. I probably enjoyed the book as a whole even more because the "reader" did such a phenomenal job with it. The Uncertain Season is the first book I've read by Ann Howard Creel and I will definitely be reading more by her. The style of writing, her prose was beautiful and caused me to really want to give this book 5 stars. Looking back at the number of highlightings I have on my Kindle, there were many times where it truly resonated with me. However, I somehow felt like I was left with more questions than I would have liked at the end. I am wondering if a sequel will follow or if this is like real life where some stories just don't have happy endings or if they do, we never have the opportunity to hear of them. Overall, very enjoyable read.
