My Thoughts:
As summer comes to a close, I have just the book for you to savor. Among the Fair Magnolias is charmingly filled with four historical Southern Love Stories. Each one is unique and swoon worthy! The authors are Tamera Alexander, Shelley Gray, Dorothy Love and Elizabeth Musser. My personal favorites were To Mend a Dream (Tamera Alexander) and A Heart so True (Dorothy Love). To Mend a Dream takes place a few years after the Civil War as an independent young lady (Savannah Darby) struggles to take care of her siblings and find a hidden treasure from her past. History and a mystery! Savannah is charming and genteel- a true Southern lady. Tamara Alexander masterfully weaves the past and the present in this petite romance. Delightful! A Heart so True really had my pulse pounding! Abigail has her future planned out for her out of obligation although her heart is set on another. Out of love for her mother she's willing to do what is required to help her father's political career. Cousin Charles, her intended, is not all that he seems, though, and Abigail soon discovers that not only is her heart broken but she's also in terrible danger. A real page turner!
In the most turbulent decade of our nation’s history, four Southern women—destinies forged by birth, hearts steeled by war—face near impossible choices on their journeys in life . . . and in love.
To Mend a Dream by Tamera Alexander
Savannah Darby would do almost anything to revisit her family home. So when new owner, Aidan Bedford, a Boston attorney and former Union soldier, seeks to redecorate the house for his fiancée, Savannah jumps at the opportunity. But the clock is ticking. Can she find the box her father supposedly hid there during the war before her assignment is completed? And before she sees yet another battle lost on the home front. This time, one of the heart.
