"Tressa" is a story about an Irish lass in the early 1800's. Her passion is baking and her family, but her life takes a detour when she has to escape to the America's from an abusive husband. Ms. Cerny envelopes you in a tale of interesting twists and turns as Tressa's adventures keep you on the edge of your seat.

Reading Ms. Cerny's books transports you back in time with details from extensive research to bring her characters and scenes to life. Her two previous books ("Of Angels and Orphans" and "Gray's Hill") are just as much a joy to read as this one was. I am sure there are more books in the making.

Happy reading.

Tressa Barbara T Cerny 9781612043418 Books Reviews

I received this book from the author in exchange for a honest review.

This was a clean romance with only a brief description of the heroines rape by her husband.

Story The story starts in Dublin with Tressa (the heroine) working in her Uncle's bakery and at the same time being courted by Seamus. Her ultimate dream is to one day own her own bakery. Before the marriage, Seamus plays along and acts like the attentive suitor. Soon, they are married and everything changes. Seamus is abusive and controlling. He rapes her every night and makes her life a living hell. He makes Tressa give up her job and stay home. Eventually, she becomes pregnant and this is when she starts to plot a way to escape. She will not bring a child into this situation. She starts to bake on the side and horde money. Her plan is to purchase passage on a ship to America. Eventually, she gets enough money and goes to the docks and purchases a ticket. Now, she waits for her baby to be born and the day she boards the ship. Tressa's baby arrives, but her husband kills it because it has downs syndrome. She is devastated.

On the day she is to board the ship, she endeavors to be alone. She makes it and waits for the ship to depart hoping her husband does not find her. On the ship, she meets an indentured servant Nuala and her baby Matty. On the way to America, Nuala dies and gives her baby to Tressa to raise.

The ship docks in New York and she disembarks. She notices a man buying an indentured servant for a maid and then overhears that he also needs a wet nurse. She speaks up and is instantly hired. From there, she and Matty are transported to the Langley's house. It is here that she finds a new family and the man she will marry. There are some interesting secondary characters and the story did keep my attention. The only drawback is that I think the romance between the hero and heroine needed to be drawn out more.

Overall, a good historical romance about two wounded people who help each other heal from the past.
3.5 stars for me. Its well written and and oh so good book, but I can't help feeling I've read or watched something similar to this before.....that said.....

Tressa is the main character in this book. Its based around Dublin, especially at the start as this is where she works as a master baker in the family business. She has hopes and dreams of opening her own bakery some day. She loves inventing new things and is a master at what she does [which comes out even more later in the story]

Tressa doesn't have any thoughts about marriage and suitors etc, but Seamus has his beady eye on her. Under encouragement from family she courts him. He seems a lovely man, they eventually marry.

Something happens at their wedding reception as she is opening the wedding gifts that carry on into the marital home as they arrive. That is the first time you see another side to Seamus, he also rapes her.

The scenes of the rape aren't too graphic but the abuse is paramount to the essence of the story to show how what eventually happens.

Much more happens whereupon she needs to escape.

Without going and spoiling the rest of the story, she does manage to flee to America with several things happening along the way and where she ends up.

Does Seamus find her? Does she fulfill her dreams?

Its a very touching story, it also [because of the time in history this book is written in] bestows you to throw back your thoughts in time and surrounding how people lived back then.

Tressa is no doubt a heroine and saver of the day in many ways.

This is the first book I have read by Barbara T Cerny and I wouldn't be averse about reading another of hers, It was a good book, solid, well written all rounded story.

I would like to thank the author for allowing to read this book direct from her.
This book would have to be my favourite in the collection that I have read, it had me that I could not put the book down I took it everywhere a brilliant story and one that has you actually taking part in it this should be made in to a movie along with the others buy this book you will not be disappointed.
This is Barbara's third book and just as compelling as the first 2. "Tressa" takes place in Ireland and NYC in early 1800's. Tressa leaves behind family and everything she knows to escape a horrible marriage. She comes to America and gets a job with the well-to-do Langley family who become her new family. The story keeps the reader's interest, following Tressa through many trials and tribulations culminating in a happy outcome. The reader is able to tell that much research went into creating an accurate description of the place and period. Just as she was able to do in her first two books, Barbara is able to paint vivid pictures with words. This is a fairly quick read, suitable for teens and adults. I hope Barbara has many more books of this nature to come.
