As the War of 1812 heats up, two wounded hearts begin to heal. But can they manage all that life has handed them?
MY THOUGHTS:
Happy Friday ya'll!! Carrie Fancett Pagels is an author that should be on your list of favorite authors. She is an amazing writer. Her book "Dogwood Plantation" is a sweet and quick read. I loved the characters except at the beginning when a cousin shows up but even I couldn't dislike him but eventually fell for his charm. This book also shows depth with her characters, real life challenges of disability, striving to do the right thing, working hard to survive when you've lost so much to an illness that strikes without warning. Cornelia and Carter are from different sides of society. Can they overcome the divide and build a bridge to happiness. Both have kind hearts and a fierce loyalty to there family. I did love the character of Edward, the young lad growing up before necessary. In his words from the book "I own this plantation". with all the confidence and standing tall. I say this about this book and its author "Carrie owns writing outstanding books." You have never read any of her books, READ THEM! You'll be so glad you did!
Blessings,
Karen
