I like the characters that were created for the Bridgerton series. Now this is a steamy romance novel series of a fictional family in England around the 1800's. Totally addictive, as is the series on Netflix. Imaginative and like potato chips, you cannot read just one.

Another character that I recently appreciated, and although a real person, there is little known about her. So the author had to create a persona based on the few facts in history. Sacajawea was the only woman in the Lewis and Clark Expedition. She was a native American snatched from her tribe, gambled away to a French trader and eventually traveled with that expedition while pregnant and then carrying an infant. All when she was about 13 or 14 years old to start. The book I read was "The Lost Journals of Sacajawea" by Debra Magpie Earling. Ms. Earling is also a native, the Bitterroot Salish people. I alternately enjoyed and was mortified by the story told of the adventure this young woman had.
