Rescued Hearts of the Civil War Loving Lydia, Book 2, (Paperback)

Susan Pope Sloan was a new author to me but her research into the history of this time period was stellar. From July 8, 1864 to May 26, 1865, this story covers the latter part of the Civil War and a short time beyond. The Union Army was slowly capturing the Confederates, confiscating their properties and burning down homes and businesses. It was basically told from the view point of the Confederate soldiers and civilians. Their hardships and troubled lives were brought to the forefront during this time period. The lives of Seth Morgan and Lydia Gibson crossed during one of their travels from Georgia to Kentucky. They both were captives of the Yankees and forced into imprisonment. All the turmoil had scattered families here and yon and searching out certain ones took all their strength and ingenuity. Will they be able to survive this turbulent time? Many other wonderful characters added to the storyline and aided each other in their day to day struggles. I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher through Celebrate Lit but I was not required to write a review positive or otherwise.
