The Seeker

I finished another great book published by Revell Books this week. The Seeker has been my favorite one so far. If you are a Gone with the Wind fan, you will immediately be drawn into this book, with its southern belles and wonderful gentlemen-like men.

To me as I read this, I could see Charlotte and the man she falls in love with as being Scarlett and Rhett. The trials they both go through, the love that blossomed between them--unknowingly to both, it is just one of those books that you get so engrossed in you don't want to put down.

This book gets five stars from me and a high recommendation for anyone's reading list!

About the Book:

When well-laid plans go awry, can she still make her dreams come true?

Charlotte Vance is a young woman who knows what she wants. But when the man she planned to marry joins the Shakers—a religious group that does not allow marriage—she is left dumbfounded. And when her father brings home a new wife who is young enough to be Charlotte's sister, it is more than she can bear. With the country—and her own household—on the brink of civil war, this pampered gentlewoman hatches a plan to avoid her new stepmother and win back her man by joining the Shaker community at Harmony Hill. Little does she know that this decision will lead her down a road of unforeseen consequences.

Ann H. Gabhart brings alive the strikingly different worlds of the Southern gentry, the simple Shakers, and the ravages of war in 1860s Kentucky to weave a touching story of love, freedom, and forgiveness.
