Review by Denise M. Clark (190203) Rating (10/10) Review
by Denise M. Clark At home, she also cares for the infant daughter of her long time friend, Lt. Sam Prescott, who recently returned from duty in New Mexico, is now serving in the Union forces. Torn between loyalty and compassion for soldiers of both sides of this new war, Amanda does what she can for them, risking danger and even prison and hanging if captured. As the war draws on, and everyone begins to understand that it will not end any time soon, Amanda is caught in a tug-of-war that involves her heart. Both Will and Sam vie for her heart, sending Amanda into a maelstrom of conflicting emotions, desires and uncertainty. Desperate to love and be loved, Amanda is faced with making a decision, and must do so before the dangers of war does it for her and she loses everything and everyone she holds dear to her heart.
Ms. Murphy’s Promise & Honor brilliantly captures
the mixed feelings of a woman caught in the middle; of not only
a war she wants no part of, but of the two men from opposite sides
who hope for her affections. The author’s ability to write
gritty yet realistic battle scenes effectively portrays the sacrifices
made by the men of both sides. Well fleshed out characters bring
that intensity to life, and her exciting narrative propels the
reader on a grim and realistic journey into the heart of one woman’s
struggle to find an enduring love in the midst of hell. This reader/reviewer
certainly hopes to see more from this wonderful new author. |
