From This Day Forward
By Margaret Daley
Book Blurb:
March 1816
Rachel Gordon is stranded in South Carolina, pregnant, a
recent widow when her husband fell overboard on the voyage to America.
Nathan Stuart, a physician who came home from serving in
the American army during the War of 1812, disenchanted with his life and the
Lord, rescues Rachel and saves her life. Feeling responsible for her, Nathan
tries to discourage her from living at a rundown farm her husband bought to
start a new future in America. He wants her to return to England.
Rachel refuses to go back to England where her father
disowned her for marrying against his wishes. The farm is all she has, and she
is determined to make it on her own.
But Nathan has other ideas and becomes her farmhand to
discourage her from staying in America. Instead he ends up protecting her and
being challenged by her. Can two wounded people heal each other?
Reviewer:
“A wonderful love story in the American
Tapestries series with characters who are trying to pick up the pieces of their
shattered lives after the War of 1812. Daley turns the ugliness of war into a
new beginning for the ones who pick up the pieces. Her characters are willing
to do what they need to in order to survive, but also are willing to give a
friendly hand to those around them.”
