Among the Fair Magnolias


Among the Fair Magnolias, Four Southern Love Stories

Love in the Old South is the theme of Among the Fair Magnolias, Four Southern Love Stories. Each story is written by a notable author of Christian fiction.  The anthology provides hours of pleasure reading as you envision young ladies in in silk evening gowns and handsome suitors on horseback, all in the aftermath of the Civil War. In “A Heart So Free,” Dorothy Love’s heroine, Abigail, must find a way to wed her beloved Dr. Bennett in spite of her father’s other choice for another husband.  In “To Mend a Dream,” by Tamera Alexander, seamstress Savannah Darby sews drapes in her former family home for the new owner and his fiancĂ©e.  But the dashing young attorney takes a special interest in Savannah. In Elizabeth Musser’s “Love Beyond Limits,” schoolteacher Emily Derracott faces danger as she tries to help former slaves and rebuff the attentions of a suitor who doesn’t seem to share her beliefs.  In “The Outlaw’s Heart,” by Shelley Gray, Russell Champion returns to a home he was forced to leave seven years before. This tale has the twists and turns that involve a former girlfriend now being courted by a suspicious stranger. Russell must also mend fences with his ill mother and revisit a tumultuous past. I highly recommend this book.   Romance, suspense and post Civil War drama will keep you turning the pages for more.  I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review and the words here are my own.
