•°o•:*:•. Interesting & Different Civil War Era
Story .•:*:• o°•
Macon, GA 1864
Abigail McFadden is a
“Yankee” nurse serving in the South. Her priority is people, whether on the
battlefield, makeshift hospital ward or living on the edge of society in the
shantytown. She has had to start over,
and nearly everyone in Macon has been kind and giving to her. Save for the power-hungry General Farris who
is attempting to convince everyone she is a Union spy.
Colonel Ian Saberton is a
strong, confident leader. However, he is rather unprepared for a town full of
women who demand to be heard and useful in this war. They have strong ideas, but over time he
discovers one in particular needs his help to avoid an unjust hanging. The more
involved he becomes, the more he learns about who Abby is and how strong her
faith is. Faith is something he’s put on
the shelf since the war started, leading him down a path of destruction. Favorite Quote: Ch. 9 “Abby
McFadden was a most peculiar female. Whatever circumstance she got herself
into, she acted with all of her heart.”
Young Hickory has returned
from book 1 and takes an active role in the story. He is a wonderful character who is clever,
cautious but still happy to be a kid when there is an opportunity despite
hardship and loss.
The evil side of men is shown
throughout the story, so if you enjoy a strong sense of danger without too much
gory detail, this book offers it. It is
countered with Ian’s conviction to serve, protect and conquer injustice at
every turn.
The more personal details of
what people are worried about and dealing with in wartime were interesting,
particularly since this book is told primarily from the southern point of view,
and I did enjoy it.
The scene with the Georgia
peaches was a particular favorite.

About the Author in Her Own Words:
My favorite childhood
memories involve sitting around my grandmother's kitchen table listening
in while my parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles told amazing stories of times
gone by. Sometimes I laughed until I'd lose my breath. Sometimes I sat
quietly, on the verge of tears, hearing of the bravery and perseverance shown
by those who'd gone before me. What I wouldn't give to have known
them. History has been a passion ever since. Couple that with an
insatiable love for story and there you have the heart of what inspires me
to write books with a timeless message of love and hope. In many
ways, I've come full circle. The legacy torch carried by my parents and
grandparents has now been passed to me. I pray my novels convey all the charm,
romance, wit and wisdom of the past to enlighten and fascinate a whole new
generation. I am a child of the Southwest. Raised in New Mexico, I now live
in Texas with my husband of 35 years. I have two wonderful grown kids and
four grandboys that can leap tall buildings in a single bound! My family is
truly the heart of who I am. The only thing I love more than my family
(and books) is Jesus. My sincerest hope is that you sense that in my writing. Happy
reading! Lori
