Faith

By Lyn Cote

Book Overview

The Civil War battlefield is the last place Quakeress Faith Cathwell thought she'd find herself. But with a gift for nursing, Faith seizes this opportunity to join the fight for abolition--and to search for Shiloh, a freeborn childhood friend who was kidnapped and sold south by unscrupulous slave catchers.Knowing it's much too dangerous for her to search enemy territory alone, Faith enlists the help of Colonel Devlin Knight, who is indebted to her for saving his cousin's life. A career soldier, Dev is committed to the preservation of the Union but conflicted about freeing his own slave and confidant, who plans to enlist as soon as Dev gives him manumission papers.Blazing a trail east with the rest of Grant's army, Dev and Faith fight their personal battles--and a growing attraction to each other. When beliefs clash and passions flare, they quickly find that the only thing more dangerous than the war surrounding them is the battle within their hearts.

Gripping story of factual Civil War with a strong, intelligent, driven quarkress nurse on a mission

This is a well written and very engaging book, I couldn't put it down. Super well developed characters and Lyn Cote's descriptions put you right onto fields and into the woods of war, tent cities & army hospitals, and smelly camps and rocking tormenting wagons carrying them along, amazing how the Cornell and Faith overcome the odds, infection, much thanks to excellent nursing, herbal use and knowledge, and the good Dr Bryant. Her wonderful writing leaves you feeling their emotions: nervous dread, torment, self conflict, unexpected relief, tears of joy, fear, sadness & loss, and finally (happily and sadly) undeniable glorious will of the devine. Learning that we cannot control anything outside of our own behavior, chosen words, and our actions. A must read! This one is the last of her Quaker Brides series, but I've read it 1st!! I wish the book didn't end, I'm rereading it while I'm awaiting the arrival of and then moving onto the previous two books of that series now: "Honor" and "Blessing". Be kind to yourself, get it! Enjoy!!
