Publisher's Description
Will the Wounded Soldier She Rescues From Certain Death be Able to Break Down the Walls of Bitterness That Surround Her Heart?
Seeking
to fulfill the promise she made to her dying father, eighteen-year-old
Jesselynn Highwood determines to take her little brother and the
family's remaining Thoroughbreds from Twin Oaks plantation in Kentucky
to her uncle's farm in Missouri, where they will be safe for the
remainder of the Civil War.
Jesselynn is also fleeing a
cruel man in Confederate uniform who has pledged to take revenge against
her for refusing his hand in marriage. No longer safe at Twin Oaks, she
embarks on a perilous journey, taking on the momentous responsibility
for the lives and welfare of all who go with her.
They
ride at night and hide during the day, dodging both Confederate and
Union troops along the way. Encountering hunger, sickness, and the
devastation of war, they finally arrive in Missouri only to discover
that the situation there puts them in even greater danger. Discouraged,
disillusioned, and facing a severe testing of her faith, Jesselynn will
stop at nothing to save her family, the horses, and whatever remains of
Twin Oaks.
This book sounds really interesting! After your description, now I want to know how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteI would like to be able to get a paper copy so I can see how it ends too! Since I don't have any e-reader, and the computer does not work out to well, I normally can only read books in print.
