Book 1: Into the Free by Julie Cantrell
Description:
Just a girl. The only one strong enough to break the cycle.
In
Depression-era Mississippi, Millie Reynolds longs to escape the madness
that marks her world. With an abusive father and a "nothing mama," she
struggles to find a place where she really belongs.
For answers,
Millie turns to the Gypsies who caravan through town each spring. The
travelers lead Millie to a key that unlocks generations of shocking
family secrets. When tragedy strikes, the mysterious contents of the box
give Millie the tools she needs to break her family's longstanding
cycle of madness and abuse.
Through it all, Millie experiences
the thrill of first love while fighting to trust the God she believes
has abandoned her. With the power of forgiveness, can Millie finally
make her way into the free?
Saturated in Southern ambiance and written in the vein of other Southern literary bestsellers like The Help by Kathryn Stockett and Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin, Julie Cantrell has created in Into the Free—now a New York Times Best Seller—a story that will sweep you away long after the novel ends.
Book 2: Tangled Ashes by Michele Phoenix
Description:
When Marshall Becker arrives in Lamorlaye, France, to begin the massive renovation of a Renaissance-era castle, he unearths a dark World War II history few in the village remember. The project that was meant to provide an escape for Becker instead becomes a gripping glimpse into the human drama that unfolded during the Nazi occupation and seems to live on in midnight disturbances and bizarre acts of vandalism.
Book 3: Wedded to War by Jocelyn Green
Description:
Tending to the army's sick and wounded meant leading a life her mother does not understand and giving up a handsome and approved suitor. Yet Charlotte chooses a life of service over privilege, just as her childhood friend had done when he became a military doctor. She soon discovers that she's combatting more than just the rebellion by becoming a nurse. Will the two men who love her simply stand by and watch as she fights her own battles? Or will their desire for her wage war on her desire to serve God?
Wedded to War is a work of fiction, but the story is inspired by the true life of Civil War nurse Georgeanna Woolsey. Woolsey's letters and journals, written over 150 years ago, offer a thorough look of what pioneering nurses endured. This is the first in the series "Heroines Behind the Lines: Civil War," a collection of novels that highlights the crucial contributions made by women during times of war.
