Setting Two Hearts Free (Smitten Historical Romance, October 2020)
By Janet Grunst
Tagline: Would their love survive the invisible wounds of war?
Blurb:
Donald Duncan joined the Patriot cause for noble reasons, battling the British while enduring deprivation and hardship on every side. The war has changed him, and now the battle is internal. Returning home to Virginia is in sight where a new life and his Mary wait for him.
Mary Stewart spends the war years with her family at Stewarts’ Green, helping them operate their ordinary. Daily, she prays for Donald’s safe return, eagerly waiting for him … until that day the evil side of war touches her.
Two hearts changed by a war that dragged on for six years. Two hearts left hurting and struggling to find the love and trust they once knew. Is there a path for them to rekindle what was lost, Setting Two Hearts Free?

DeleteCongratulations on your book! I love historical fiction and the Civil War era so the storyline sounds like one I would enjoy. Navigating relationships through separation and tough experiences is a topic that we can learn from. Look forward to reading how your characters dealt with their struggles. Be blessed. Phyllis
