About this ebook
Civil War has robbed Margaret Logan of all she holds dear, including her beloved New Orleans home and her fiancé. When her family moves to the desolate Bolivar Peninsula to manage a lighthouse that is no longer there, all her hopes for a normal future are dashed. Her world is rocked once again when a wounded Yankee soldier washes ashore needing her help. Despite her contempt for the North, Margaret falls in love with Thomas Murphy. As their love blooms, Margaret's sister is overcome with neurosis, and her mind slowly slips away. Bitterness, psychosis and depression yield a decision fueled by contempt. Will one fatal choice cause Margaret to lose the man she loves and condemn Thomas to death?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I know very little about Texas during the Civil War, but I thought this story handled the tough issues of those times well--lack of food, slavery, enemies, and mental illness. The Logan family remained true to their Christian values. They lived their faith and that was uplifting. While the sweet romance of Margaret and Thomas is at the center of the story, all the other difficulties of the time impact their growing love. I really enjoyed this book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5North meets South in this Civil War tale of unexpected love. Margaret and her family are living on a peninsula, her father a lighthouse keeper at a post that no longer has a lighthouse. Having left their home in New Orleans, Margaret’s life is but a shadow of what it once was. She has lost not only her home but also her fiancé, killed in the war. Having no love nor respect for the North, she is stunned to find a sailor – a Yankee sailor – more dead than alive, washed up on the shore. Informing her parents, she is shocked when they bring him into their home and nurse him back to health. A dangerous situation, giving aid and comfort to the enemy, Margaret has nothing but contempt for this man. But gradually, she sees the man beneath the blue of his uniform, and comes to realize, Yankees are not so different from their southern brothers. He enlightens her about many things, and slowly, they start to plan a life together, a life which is thwarted by the betrayal of her younger sister. Just when it seems that Margaret will find love, happiness is again snatched from her. This intriguing Christian tale is captivating and entertaining, with its historical setting and complex characters. This well-written story will appeal to readers of romance, history, and Christian fiction.
