Beyond These War-Torn Lands (Wounded Heart Series #1) by Cynthia Roemer -- Review

8/18/2021

About the Book

Picture
The War brought them together ~ Would it also tear them apart?

While en route to aid Confederate soldiers injured in battle near her home, Southerner Caroline Dunbar stumbles across a wounded Union sergeant. Unable to ignore his plea for help, she tends his injuries and hides him away, only to find her attachment to him deepen with each passing day. But when her secret is discovered, Caroline incurs her father’s wrath and, in turn, unlocks a dark secret from the past which she is determined to unravel.

After being forced to flee his place of refuge, Sergeant Andrew Gallagher fears he’s seen the last of Caroline. Resolved not to let that happen, when the war ends, he seeks her out, only to discover she’s been sent away. When word reaches him that President Lincoln has been shot, Drew is assigned the task of tracking down the assassin. A chance encounter with Caroline revives his hopes, until he learns she may be involved in a plot to aid the assassin.

Review

Cynthia Roemer has an intriguing Civil War story in her novel Behond These War-Torn Lands.  This is a sweet romance story about putting God first and the power of love and forgiveness.  It is clear throughout the story that the author has done detailed research on the events of her story.  The first half of the story is slow to get through and may turn some readers off, but the second half of the story picks up a bit. Readers who enjoy tales of the Civil War will enjoy this story.
