REVIEW

SETTING: EIGHTEENTH CENTURY KENTUCKY

A young couple are in preparation for a child. Only a few months until the baby is due, this is their first child, Peter has to go to France on orders from "the Colonel." Peter leaves her with an elderly couple, a sweet midwife and two young orphan boys to run the farm.

Peter, his guide, who is his new friend, become the sights of death. During this time, Linda waits for his return to safety. Linda is about to give birth and there has been no word from Peter. Those days were not the best for having a child, but the child waits for no one. Since there has been no word from Peter, Linda faces the birth alone, except of course the elderly couple and the midwife. They all love her.

After a long time, Peter comes home only to find his beautiful wife. His life will go into a tail spin.

The author put a lot of raw emotion into this book. Her story enters a lot of emotions into this book. It is a heart warming tale, love, sadness, trials and loss. Will Linda and Peter fight and win the odds? Will Linda and Peter re-kindle a new kind of love that will sustain them until the end?

This book is a heart warming, tender and emotional read. It's not a book to miss.
