His Steadfast Love by Golden Keyes Parsons

Set in Texas during the Civil War, Amanda Belle is determined to care for her younger sisters after her parents pass away. When Union soldiers occupy their home for awhile, she comes to care for Captain Kent Littlefield, a Pennsylvania native. Since her brother is in the Confederate Army, Amanda is torn between love and family. She never excepts the war to last long, nor for all the pain it brings to her family. The North and South were never the same after the war, and only with God's help were both sides able to forgive their enemies. This is a typical story of life during the Civil War. A little mix of the North and South mini-series and Gone with the Wind. The reader gets a true picture of life on the battlefields, prision for the soldiers, and those at home trying to survive with very little. Thanks Thomas Nelson for providing me with a free copy of this book to review!
