ABOUT THE BOOK
– Separated from Madison when he leaves to fight the French and Indians, Elanna Hanssen must choose between her heart and her head, especially when Madison’s integrity is questioned. —
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not until thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.” ~Proverbs 3:5-6
Innocence paired with wisdom beyond her years. With these traits, Elanna Hanssen unwittingly captures the attentions of Major Madison Scott. Her honest desire to understand the war fascinates him, and he resolves to get to know this perspicacious young lady better. When his military duty separates them, they begin a correspondence, cautiously baring their hearts to each other. Elanna has never known emotions like this before, but she is drawn to the integrity she sees in her major. When a local news reporter questions the major’s credentials and activities, however, will she allow her heart or her head to rule? Can true love grow over such distance and around such obstacles?

MY REVIEW
I enjoyed this book not only for it being a simple love story, but also for its integrity. Amber Miller has proven that a love story can be good without the explicit details found in many of today’s novels. I would not hesitate to give this book to my 16-year-old niece to read.
In fact, this would be an excellent book for teen girls as they start to explore relationships. The truths that Amber teaches are timeless. She also models character traits – obedience, consideration, integrity, honesty – that everyone should strive for.
I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the Delaware Brides Series.

Kara, thank you so much for spotlighting my book and for your flattering review. I have to admit I had some worries about book 2 in light of the reviews from book 1. Would this one live up to expectations. So far so good, and it’s a humbling experience to read so many great reviews.
Book 3 is available now through my web site and will be on Amazon early next year.
