The Rebel Bride: Volume 10

By Shannon McNear

Book Overview

Can Love Form Amidst Tensions of War?During the clash between Union and Confederacy, quiet Tennessean Pearl MacFarlane is compelled to nurse both Rebel and Yankee wounded who seek refuge at her family's farm. She is determined to remain unmoved by the Yankee cause--until she faces the silent struggle of Union soldier Joshua Wheeler, a recent amputee. The MacFarlane family fits no stereotype Joshua believed in; still he is desperate to regain his footing--as a soldier, as a man, as a Christian--in the aftermath of his debilitating injury. He will use his time behind enemy lines to gather useful intelligence for the Union--if the courageous Rebel woman will stay out of the line of danger.

Wonderful Historical Fiction

The Daughters of the Mayflower series has been a fabulous historical fiction series, and book #10, The Rebel Bride, lives up to my expectations. The series follows a family tree linked by the daughters across American history, from the landing of the Mayflower through the events of World War II. In The Rebel Bride, McNear brings to life a few months of the Civil War in Tennessee with characters from both sides, The Union and The Rebels (or the Secessionists). The conflicts were not just military but very personal, and the characters realistically portray those discordant thoughts and emotions. Could a Union soldier and a Confederate daughter find a way to make their growing love into a wedded life together? Where could they live that their marriage would be accepted? The characters are portrayed with realism and are relatable. I like the way the author weaves a strong thread of faith in God throughout the story reminding readers that He is the source of strength in the hard times of life. The pages of this book were infused with drama, history, family, and emotional tension. I am looking forward to reading more of this author's works and more, as well, in the Daughters of the Mayflower series, a series for those who love stories of history, adventure, romance, and family legacy. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions are my own.

Nice Read

The Rebel Bride by Shannon McNear Published by Barbour Publishing ISBN: 164352240X Pages: 256 Reviewed by: Tina H. The Rebel Bride was written very fairly, on a quite touchy subject. The author has a DEAR READER page, that she writes to the reader that explains why she did things this way or that way. I thought that part was very nicely done. The Rebel Bride is about a young woman, Pearl who lives in the South. Three of her brothers were killed in battles, where they fought on the side of the South. Her father and younger brother live at home, with her. The South commandeers Pearl's family's house, as a hospital of sorts, for Northern Union soldiers that are prisoners of war-but have been injured and won't live to be sent to one of the South's prisoner camps. Joshua is a Union soldier who was injured in battle, where he lost one arm at the wrist. He is one of the Union soldiers who is taken to Pearl's family's house, to get somewhat nursed back to health. Pearl unwillingly accepts these injured men into her life, where she spends all of her time, trying to get these men to live.
