About this ebook

Set in New York and Washington City, Four Summers Waiting weaves a Civil War epic that emerges as a love story.Maria Onderdonk, daughter of a prominent Long Island widower, steps out of a dutiful-daughter role after a year of family mourning. Her best friend, Carolyn involves her in an Abolitionist Society meeting where Maria meets Henry Simms. Henry is a medical college student hlping slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. Henry courts Maria through letters until he is about to open a medical practice and the War of the Rebellion begins.
Maria and Carolyn's friendship is shaped and strengthened by wartime challenges. Carolyn enrolls in nurse training, a career almost unheard of in Victorian society. Maria yearns to help the Union cause, especially after Henry volunteers as a Union contract surgeon. She struggles to balance her sentiments with her father's opposition to the war. Maria's diary and Henry and Maria's letters become a chronicle of their love as they are caught up in events of the war. Determined to find a way to help the causes she believes in Maria follows her heart, and Henry to Washington, never imagining death and terror await her in that war-torn city.

Author

Mary Fremont Schoenecker

I retired as Associate Professor of Education from SUNY College at Oneonta NY. to live with husband, Tom in Florida. I've been a fiction writer for the past six years. Published in 2006 by Five Star/Gale, my first book was a historical novel, Four Summers Waiting. It was given a second edition in LP by Thorndike Press. Next came a contemporary series, The Maine Shore Chronicles. The Chronicles are a cross between Romantic Suspense and Sweet Cozy Mystery.Books one, two,and three Finding Fiona,Moonglade, and Promise Keeper all received second editions in Large Print by Thorndike Press. My readers enjoy the cross genre mix of my contemporary series and I hope they will continue to enjoy Four Summers Waiting as an Ebook.
