OH MY! A love story and the Civil War -- two of my favorite things in novels! Add truly rich historical research, a wonderful plot twist, and the clean and crisp pen of Carrie Fancett Pagels, and you have a tender tale of love and family that will stir and inspire.I was stunned that in the few pages of a novella, I could be swept away into the fascinating background of the Shirley Plantation, the oldest plantation in Virginia, where the author paints a lush canvas of love and heartbreak among the ruins of war.Volume 1 in Murray Pura's American Civil War Series, The Cry of Freedom, Miss Fancett Pagel's Return to Shirley Plantation: A Civil War Romance, is the perfect beginning to whet your appetite for what is sure to be a truly outstanding series.
