This is a book that should be in every school and library across our nation. What is it that you think of when you hear the word Gettysburg? Battle? Death? I must admit those were my first thoughts until I read this book. At the end of this novel you will find the Gettysburg Address. Never before have I read these words by Abraham Lincoln with more clarity than I did after finishing this novel.
I must admit to you that this is unlike anything I have read. The characters were portrayed so beautifully and their stories penned with perfection. I have yet to read the first book in this series entitled, "Wedded To War", but upon reading this selection I can tell you it could be read as a stand alone.
As I read I was continually on the edge of my seat. The story flowed well, but also continued to build and draw me in. The main character, Liberty Holloway, is a hero. She is portrayed as strong and steady, but also holds much grace and tender mercy for others. She's giving and her compassion for others is what draws me so near to her. She has been through so much, but yet she prevails. She's not giving up. She may surrender her life to Christ, but that isn't giving up at all. She finds a freedom that lifts her above everything that could hold her captive.
We see there is much more than death in Gettysburg. Much more to be shared and spoken with great honor. Friends, this is one book you shouldn't pass up. One author you will not forget.
My heart was glued to these pages. From the turning of the first to the very last. Faith, hope and love cover these pages. We feel with great emotion what the characters are journeying through. You can enjoy book 1, "Wedded to War", book 3, "Yankee in Atlanta", and the upcoming forth in the series, "Spy of Richmond".
