My Review
4 novella length stories with each taking place on a different fort from
the early days of Us history. I found it especially fascinating because I also live in an unincorporated area, Fort Loudon, PA which is rich in history .
The fort here was built in 1756 during the French and Indian War and reading these novellas I could vividly picture what life was like at the fort
during this time.
Inspirational stores that will give you hope, they tell of life's struggles,turmoils,forgiveness,truth,triumph and finding love in the most unexpected way.
It's all the goodness of God's timing. I really loved these stories! Pub Date 01 Mar 2020 Barbour Publishing, Inc. I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you. All opinions expressed are my own.
