Amid war and the fading dream of the Confederacy, a wounded soldier
and a destitute widow discover the true meaning of Christmas - and of
sacrificial love.
Recently widowed, Aletta Prescott
struggles to hold life together for herself and her six-year old
son.With the bank threatening to evict, she discovers an advertisement
for the Women's Relief Society auction and applies for a position - only
to discover it's been filled. Then a chance meeting with a wounded
soldier offers another opportunity - and friendship. But can Aletta
trust this man?
Captain Jake Winston, a revered
Confederate sharpshooter, suffered a head wound at the Battle of
Chickamauga. When doctors deliver their diagnosis, Jake fears losing not
only his greatest skill but his very identity. As he heals, Jake is
ordered to assist with a local Women's Relief Society auction. He
respectfully objects.Kowtowing to a bunch of "crinolines" isn't his idea
of soldiering. But orders are orders, and he soon discovers this group
of ladies - one, in particular - is far more than he bargained for.
This story shows the sacrifices that were made by not only the men during the Civil War but by the women as well. This is Aletta's story. She lost her husband in a battle and now she has her son to raise as well as a baby on the way. By God's grace she survives.
As always Tamera rights a good story. I'm looking forward to the next installment in this series.
I was given this book by the publisher for an honest review. I was not compensated in any way.
