Helpful Score: 3
This book won a Golden Heart award and the reason is easily apparent. Lindstrom writes a very believable and moving story. Her characters (even the secondary ones) are well developed. She draws the reader into the story and as the plot unfolds, the book becomes more and more difficult to put aside.
Very good book.
A young woman finds herself falling in love with her fiance's brother.
This was a great book I have one on my keeper shelf.
This is a terrific book! I'm shocked to discover it was a debut novel. The author was able to write a historical romance that had enough romance but didn't go overboard. Including family honor, PTSD and a scared little girl who didn't know how to be a little girl. It actually made me cry in a couple spots. Very realistic; this could have easily been a true story. Great writing. Great Civil War research. I can't say enough good things about it.
