Goodreads Summary
The Civil War battlefield is the last place Quakeress Faith Cathwell thought she'd find herself. But with a gift for nursing, Faith seizes this opportunity to pin the fight for abolition—and to search for Shiloh, a freeborn childhood friend who was kidnapped and sold south by unscrupulous slave catchers.
Knowing it's much too dangerous for her to search enemy territory alone, Faith enlists the help of Colonel Devlin Knight, who is indebted to her for saving his cousin's life. A career soldier, Dev is committed to the preservation of the Union but conflicted about freeing his own slave and confidant, who plans to enlist as soon as Dev gives him manumission papers.
Blazing a trail east with the rest of Grant's army, Dev and Faith fight their personal battles—and a growing attraction to each other. When beliefs clash and passions flare, they quickly find that the only thing more dangerous than the war surrounding them is the battle within their hearts.
My Thoughts
I struggled. I really, really struggled. Here's the thing, this book probably wasn't bad, I think I just really don't enjoy Quaker/Amish type books. I thought I would be able to get into it a little more with the Shiloh storyline, but I still really struggled.
It is very possible that I was just not in the mood to read this kind of story, or maybe it was just in my head that I don't usually enjoy Quaker/Amish books... I really don't know. I feel horrible to have a not-so-great review for Faith! It's probably a lovely book! There are plenty of people who enjoy these books so I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like this one :)
Bottom line... it wasn't bad, it just wasn't the book for me!
*Note: I received a copy of this book from Tyndale House Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
