Letters From the Laurel Grove

Letters from the Laurel Grove
Their nation was tearing in two. Their hearts were bound by something stronger.
Tennessee, 1860. Seventeen-year-old Cynthia Longings has known nothing but the quiet beauty of Laurel Grove: her family's red brick home with its white columns and the grove of trees running down to Stones River. Then, at a revival meeting in Louisville, she meets John Baird, an earnest young farmer from Findlay, Ohio, whose faith runs as deep as her own.
What begins with a single letter grows into a courtship carried across hundreds of miles of ink and paper. But the country is on the brink of war. John's family stands firmly with the North. Cynthia's brother Daniel has sworn to fight for the South to defend Laurel Grove. And Cynthia and John share a conviction that could cost them everything: that every slave deserves to be free.
When war comes, Cynthia trains as a nurse and finds herself tending the wounded in a Murfreesboro mansion turned field hospital, while the battle lines draw ever closer to home. Separated by armies, family loyalties, and the deadliest conflict in American history, Cynthia and John must decide whether their love can survive, and whether they will trust God's plan above their own desires.
Woven with true accounts from the Civil War, including a winter night when the songs of both armies rose over the same frozen battlefield, Letters from the Laurel Grove is a sweet, clean Christian romance about courage, conviction, and a love that puts God first.
