Kay M. (maydayzee) reviewed The Backcountry Brides Collection: Eight 18th Century Women Seek Love on Colonial America?s Frontier on + 753 more book reviews
I love all the Barbour collections. This one is another good one with stories by eight different authors highlighting lives and events in Colonial America.
Shenandoah Hearts
The first story, written by Carrie Fancett Pagles, features mostly German and Welsh immigrants moving out of the city Philadelphia and into the sparsely populated Shenandoah valley. This is a lively story packed with interesting characters and an opportunity to live vicariously in a time and place of constant danger, hard work and special moments of love and romance.
Heart of Nantahala by Jennifer Hudson Taylor
Heart of Nantahala directly highlights women's place in society during the Colonial era. It is also a very sweet love story and one I enjoyed very much.
Her Redcoat
This third story, by Pegg Thomas, is a gripping narrative of life in Northern Michigan during the spring of 1763. The historic details lend a colorful, though heart-rending, backdrop to this moving story with a surprise ending.
A Heart So Tender by Debra E. Marvin
Very interesting story delving into the hearts and minds of the white settlers and soldiers toward Native Americans. The heavy subject matter was balanced with moments of humor and ordinary matters of life that concern us all, regardless of time and place. Excellent story!
A Worthy Groom by Angela K. Couch
What a heart-rending story! One of the best I've read and so applicable for today. It is shocking in its depiction of man's ability to be cruel and hateful, but it is amazing in showing the hope and goodness that God can give us if we ask and rely on Him.
Across Three Autumns by Denise Weimer
This is a story about an amazing woman, who was unable to see herself as others saw her. Across Three Autumns is a poignant story that will touch your heart.
The Counterfeit Tory by Shannon McNear
The Counterfeit Tory is a story of good vs evil played out in Revolutionary War time. It illustrates the promise that God is with us during the worst of times and He is merciful and offers us true hope. It's not only exciting, it is also a sweet love story that will put a smile on the reader's face.
Love's Undoing by Gabrielle Meyer
Very entertaining and informative story, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It ends well, though somewhat abruptly. Maybe a sequel?
