~The Seeker~ Reviewed
When well-laid plans go awry, can she still make her dreams come true?
Charlotte Vance is a young woman who knows what she wants. But when the man she planned to marry joins the Shakers—a religious group that does not allow marriage—she is left dumbfounded. And when her father brings home a new wife who is young enough to be Charlotte's sister, it is more than she can bear. With the country—and her own household—on the brink of civil war, this pampered gentlewoman hatches a plan to avoid her new stepmother and win back her man by joining the Shaker community at Harmony Hill. Little does she know that this decision will lead her down a road of unforeseen consequences.
My Take: This book is set in my favorite time period of all the Civil War and it has strong characters. It has the feel of Gone With The Wind with Christian characters. As I was reading the book I wondered if this is what GWTW would be like if Margaret Mitchell wrote it as a Christian novel. I highly recommend it!
