SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Kathleen has graciously offered to allow me to randomly select one commenter to receive a free e-book copy of The Chaplain's Daughter. I will draw a name out of the hat on April 1st. Don't forget to leave your comments below.
Ellen White was serving the Confederacy as a laundress when she was discovered by her former neighbor, Sam Sharpe, Sam had come to arrange for his injured son, Captain Gideon Sharpe, to be given permission to convalesce at home. Seeing the straits Reverend White's youngest daughter found herself in, Sam insisted she accompany them home so that he could see to her care, and she could see to his son's. Fans of historical romantic fiction can see where this story is going, however, Maher maintains her hold on her readers' interest by skillfully including a variety of complicating circumstances, engaging a variety of emotions, and creating passion without overstepping boundaries that readers of clean and Christian fiction do not want to cross. The language in this book is well chosen, well constructed, and flows smoothly. The Chaplain's Daughter is an enjoyable read, one you will be glad to have spent time with.

I
thank Kathleen L. Maher for providing me with a copy of this book in
exchange for my honest opinion. I was under no obligation to write a
positive review and received no monetary compensation.
Claudia, this is such a beautiful review. I’m so grateful. I am willing to offer a free e-book to one of your commenters. You can choose at random and let me know
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing with my commenters. I have truly enjoyed your books and your FB posts.
DeleteI'm looking forward to peeking into the Sharpe family's life again with your latest novel Kathleen! Your first book in The Sons of the Shenandoah series, The Abolitionist's Daughter, was riveting right up into the final pages! Your compelling story was my companion on a long flight home from California last August.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I'll have another great read flying back out there with your new release!
