Romantic Adventure from Tracie Peterson!
When Laura Marquardt first meets Brandon Reid, their encounter is
anything but pleasant. But when the two are seated together at a
dinner party, they soon find that they share similar
interests--Laura desires to educate blacks, and Brandon, as a white
officer over colored troops, eagerly supports her cause.
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?
Her heart is caught between the man she loves and the sister
she's desperate to protect.
Though their first encounter is hardly auspicious, Laura Marquardt
soon discovers herself drawn to the dashing Captain Brandon Reid.
As an officer over the colored troops, he eagerly supports her
desire to educate blacks and seek harmony in a town where the
defeat of the South is a bitter reality.
When Laura's sister marries her Confederate beau, Laura finds
herself in a difficult situation after overhearing a discussion
with frightening consequences. In her heart she feels she should
confide in Brandon, but Laura fears to do so may endanger her
sister's life. Yet as the stakes continue to rise and Brandon's
motives for pursuing her come into doubt, Laura questions where to
turn...and wonders if her own dreams of love may be forsaken.
