His Steadfast Love - Fiction, Historical
By Golden Keyes Parsons (One of my favorite authors)
A nation torn apart by
Civil War. Lovers torn apart by family conflict. Can their love survive?
Amanda Belle is a lady of
Southern upbringing, charged with caring for younger siblings after losing her
mother. Kent Littlefield is a Union army
officer, quickly rising in rank. The two
meet just before the Civil War and quickly fall in love. However, when the war starts, Kent must take
his place in the Northern army – taking him away from the woman he loves. Amanda’s own brother soon joins the Southern
Rebel army – tearing her allegiances: family and slavery; or true love and
freedom? When the war ends, will Kent
come for Amanda and win the blessings of both families for marriage? What will become of Amanda’s brother, her
siblings, and her convictions?
I loved this story told superbly
by Golden Keyes Parsons. This book gave
me a small glimpse of the heartbreak of our nation torn apart by war. I was moved to tears several times as I read about
the horrors of the war – brother fighting brother, families torn apart. Many details of actual events
were seamlessly woven into the story. The
story flowed from beginning to end.
Really, this could have been a 2 or 3 book series with all the years
covered. I give this book an A – read it
and love it!
The publisher provided a
free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thanks BookSneeze.com!
