From This Day Forward (American Tapestries)By Margaret DaleyDescription:Penniless, pregnant, and newly widowed immigrant Rachel Gordon doesn’t believe her situation could get any worse...until she meets her new neighbors. Shortly after the War of 1812, Rachel and her husband set out from England for a plantation in South Carolina, which he had purchased sight unseen. However, while en route, Tom Gordon fell overboard and drowned, leaving Rachel, frightened and alone, to make a home for her and her newborn. Can a battle-scarred American physician who comes to her rescue also heal her wounded heart? Book Takeaway:A woman, totally out of her element, struggles to fit in. Why the author wrote this book:My first love in writing was historical romance so I really wanted to do another one. |
