Return to Shirley Plantation is a fast-paced novella interwoven with the intricacies of life, against the backdrop of the Civil War.The lives of everyone on the plantation are upended when the Army commandeers the old home grounds for a field hospital, spreading the injured soldiers shoulder to shoulder as far as the eye can see.Angelina Rose is a freed slave of one-eighth African blood. She disguises herself as a widow in mourning, helping in the home, until she can earn enough money to free her dead sister's children.Matthew Scott is owner of Scott's Theatrical Troupe. He was abducted by the Confederate Army and forced to serve because of his father's politics as a Copperhead congressman.Angelina and Matthew are immediately attracted to each other, but Angelina knows she must guard her heart and secret at all costs.A Christian theme runs throughout the book, along with the rich history of the Civil War.This book was given to me free of charge through The Christian Book Network @ [...] exchange for an honest review.
