by Carrie Fancett Pagels
-From Goodreads- When a deadly yellow fever outbreak draws Cornelia Gill back home, her new independent life must be abandoned. Injured veteran, Carter Williams, likewise must return to Dogwood Plantation when he suffers grievous family losses. Both become caretakers to younger family members. As the War of 1812 heats up, two wounded hearts begin to heal. But can they manage all that life has handed them? ISBN-13: 9780997190885 Hurt by the past, can they now find love? In my years of reading historical fiction I've noticed that some eras and events are a bit underrepresented. There is an abundance of Regency Era fiction and, despite the fact they cover at least part of the same time period, in my opinion the War of 1812 is one of those rather neglected events. Hence the reason I was so excited to see the date 1814 at the start of chapter 1 of Dogwood Plantation. As with the previous novellas that I've read, Carrie Fancett Pagels once again delivered a sweet romance with a thought provoking conflict set in a fascinating time in history. I know each reader takes something different away from a story but for me personally it was the way Cornelia and Carter need very ounce of faith they can muster to face the dangerous and frightening times they lived in. It was a timely reminder that the more difficult and uncertain things are the tighter we need to hang onto faith in the One who is above it all. | This Book received a 4 Bark rating. |
