Times are hard in the South after the Civil War. Alexandra
Jamison's parents want her future secured through an arranged marriage. She
chooses to follow her heart and become a teacher at Fisk
University , the first Freedman's
School in the United States .
Her decision comes at great personal cost when her father disowns her.
Sylas Rutledge, the new owner of the Northeast Railroad
Line, is in town for a business deal. He comes from Colorado and isn't accustomed to the genteel
ways of Southerners. He enlists Alexandra's help in learning how to conduct
himself in Nashville
business circles.
Can a romance between a man from the Wild West and a Southern
Belle survive the strains of the post-Civil War South?
Tamera Alexander is one of my favorite, go-to authors. Her
Belle Meade series is not only beautifully written but painstakingly
researched. I spent many pleasurable hours reading this book. If you're a fan
of Historical Christian Romance, I think you'll enjoy this story of finding
love after unbearable tragedy.
5 Stars!
