Book Summary
Struggling alone on the family farm, Abigail Tidwell knows exactly who to blame for her hardships: the Americans. If it weren’t for their part in the war, her father and brothers would be home rather than fighting abroad. But no amount of antipathy could have prepared her for the shocking sight of a wounded American soldier on her property, a man in dire need of her help. Grudgingly, Abigail tends to the soldier’s injuries and anticipates the satisfaction of turning him over to the authorities once he is healed. But fate has other plans. Captain Emmett Prescott remembers little of the ambush on his men by a group of Shawnee Indians and even less about how he arrived in the unfamiliar barn.
After being nursed back to health by beautiful, if reluctant, Abigail, Emmett would do anything to save the men he left behind—including forcibly enlisting Abigail’s help. Soon, Abigail finds herself caught between two countries at war. And as her attraction for Emmett grows, her conflicted heart engages in its own silent battle. But when she is accused of treason for her actions, her survival rests in the hands of the very man she once considered her enemy.
My Review
Abigail lives on the Canadian side of the British War. Her father and brothers are off fighting the war and she is alone except for a neighbor checking on her once a week. Finding a wounded almost dead soldier in her barn she wonders what to do. Turn him in to authorities or nurse him back to health. Since her father is a doctor he taught her doctoring skills and her conscience will not allow her to leave a human being to suffer. This soldier is an American and because of them her father and brothers are off fighting this terrible war. The soldier is her enemy, right? Is the enemy always wrong and the bad guy? Lives become entangled and she and her soldier see each other for compassionate souls rather than enemies now. I did enjoy how the author gave us a look inside the couple's minds as we could see them as decent humans with worries,insecurities,passions for life rather than sparring enemies. It was interesting reading about the other side of the coin in this book.
