A Country Divided…And so is her heart.

My Thoughts on Kentucky Bride:

Caryl writes such wonderful novels. They’re full of fun characters and God’s love. Kentucky Bride is no different. It’s a quick and fast read.  I really enjoyed this book and loved the characters. 

The Civil War is one of my favorite time periods.  We reenact the Civil War in our family though we haven’t had any events this year with the virus and all.  I actually met my husband through our reenacting so it’s definitely a fun memory and hobby. 

This was a fun interaction of north vs south or Yankee vs Confederate and I read the whole thing through in one sitting.  

Gigi is a sweet yet precocious determined young lady.  Her father fights for the Federal army.  Imagine her surprise when she falls for a man serving in the Confederate army.  What will her family say?  She’s determined to marry him.

I highly recommend this novel.  I’ve loved all of the books I’ve read by Caryl McAdoo and I think you will too.  I’m going to have to check out the rest of the books in this series now.

About the Author of Kentucky Bride

Award-winning author Caryl McAdoo prays her story brings God glory and her best-selling stories—over fifty published—delight Christian readers around the world. The prolific writer also enjoys singing the new songs the Lord gives her; you may listen to YouTube. Sharing four children and eighteen grandsugars with Ron, her high-school-sweetheart-husband of over fifty years, she lives in the woods south of Clarksville, the seat of Red River County in far Northeast Texas. The McAdoo’s wait expectantly for God to open the next door.

More from Caryl

It thrilled me to be a part of the North and South Collection series, thirty-seven titles by seventeen authors project headed up by Christine Sterling Bortner. One reason is that my husband and co-writer has always been a Civil War buff, and the other because it’s such a huge undertaking. I’m actually writing two titles, Kentucky in 1861 and Nevada in 1865.

The stories are broken up by the years (1861-1865) and then the years divided into the states or territories (37 in all) as to when its most major event happened. So, if a reader stays with the series, one releases every other week, they will enjoy a chronological overview of the Civil War.

Kentucky Bride

This story, Kentucky Bride is set near Bowling Green where the Confederates first set up their area headquarters. Twenty-thousand men descended on the city of seven hundred. Nearby, General Hindman with fifteen hundred men that included the 8^th Cavalry Regiment from Texas, a group of Texas Rangers who’d joined the effort. Of course, I had to have a Texan as a hero! 😊

My heroine is eighteen-year-old Gardenia Gladiola Garland who helps her grandfather in the family business as her papa, brother, and uncle were gone. They’d joined the Union Army several weeks before. She hates the flowery name her mother pinned on her almost as much as the war and insists on being called Gigi.

My Texas Ranger hero, Ephraim Edward Kerns is sent to meet a supply wagon and it surprises to find such a lovely young woman muleskinner. He ties his horse to the back of the wagon and takes over for her, falling in love with her intelligence, beauty, and determination practically at first sight.

This Texas author hopes readers will love these two young ones, and I’m always “Praying my story gives God glory!”
