When Laura's sister, Carissa, marries her Confederate beau, Laura finds herself in a difficult situation when she overhears plots to kill Union soldiers. Though in her heart she feels she should share this information with Brandon, Laura fears she will betray her sister's trust and possibly endanger her sister's life. And when Brandon's motives for pursuing her come into question, her heart is even more conflicted. Where is God leading her?
My Thoughts~
I had the chance to review the first book in Tracie Peterson's Land of the Lone Star series. In case you missed it, you can read my review of that book, Chasing the Sun, here. After having read the first book of the series, I was eager to read the second book. I was so thrilled at the chance to review this one too, and that Tracie did not let me down! I thoroughly enjoyed this books as well.
As in Chasing the Sun, this book takes place in Texas as well, in the aftermath of the Civil War between the states. The main character, Laura, and her family, were few supporters of the Union in their town. While Laura is being courted by a former Union solder, her sister marries a former Confederate soldier, Brandon Reid. Many issues arise during Laura's courtship with Brandon, mainly involving her sister and brother-in-law. Laura finds herself caught between her love for Brandon, and her love for her family.
Tracie keeps the plot twisting in this book, and really sets the scene during the post Civil-War era. This is really a wonderful historical fiction series and I highly recommend it!
