Love Thine Enemy

By Louise M. Gouge

Description:

The tropics of colonial Florida are far removed from America’s Revolution. Still, Rachel Folger’s loyalties remain with Boston’s patriots. Handsome plantation owner Frederick Moberly’s faithfulness to the Crown is as certain as his admiration for Rachel—but for the sake of harmony, he’ll keep his sympathies hidden. After all, the war is too far distant to truly touch them...isn’t it? A betrayal of Rachel’s trust divides the pair, leaving Frederick to question the true meaning of faith in God and in country. Inspired by Rachel to see life, liberty, and love through His eyes, Frederick must harness his faith and courage to claim the woman he loves before war tears them apart.

Book Takeaway:

Love will find a way to bring people together, no matter what their loyalties.

Why the author wrote this book:

I have always loved the Revolutionary War period AND the history of England. This story about the East Florida colony adds a new dimension to our assumptions about the thirteen colonies who won their freedom from the "mother" country to form the United States of America.
