Fiction Friday: The Rebel Bride

The Continuing Saga of the Daughters of the Mayflower

You know what’s better than an action-packed love story set during the Civil War? When that story is written by one of my all-time favorite authors: Shannon McNear. And in The Rebel Bride you are in for a treat, my friends. I give this one two thumbs-up, which is a rarity for me. Here’s a blurb:

Can Love Form Amidst Tensions of War?

During the clash between Union and Confederacy, quiet Tennessean Pearl MacFarlane is compelled to nurse both Rebel and Yankee wounded who seek refuge at her family’s farm. She is determined to remain unmoved by the Yankee cause—until she faces the silent struggle of Union soldier Joshua Wheeler, a recent amputee. The MacFarlane family fits no stereotype Joshua believed in; still he is desperate to regain his footing—as a soldier, as a man, as a Christian—in the aftermath of his debilitating injury. He will use his time behind enemy lines to gather useful intelligence for the Union—if the courageous Rebel woman will stay out of the line of danger.
