Jewel of Promise
Wells, Marian
As the nation splinters in two around them, will Alex and Olivia ever be together again?
In
The Silver Highway
, Olivia and Alex were confronted with a desperate effort to save the lives of runaway slaves. Torn between their Southern heritage and their convictions, they had to decide whether they would risk their lives to assist the Underground Railroad in its mission.
In
Jewel of Promise
, they face an even greater danger to their lives and their love. The escalating conflicts of the Civil War separate them from each other and from the friends they love. On the battlefield and on the homefront, Alex and Olivia must deal with crucial questions about their faith and their priorities.
Can they, as Christians, support this? And, given the brutality of the battle, will they ever see each other again?
Could she still believe the promise when everything spoke of horror and death?
