My Review:
I thought this was a good Christian historical novel. There were no war scenes so no gory stuff in it. It was not preachy but had a theme of trusting God. I liked Valerie and Benjamin's love story. A sweet civil war historical that held my attention from page one. I can't wait to see what book two in the series holds. Highly recommended for fans of Christian historical fiction. :)
