Maine: Haven of Peace/A Time to Love/The Best Laid Plans
The War Between the States is over, and the people of Waterville, Maine, want nothing more than to rebuild their lives—but they find all too quickly that in the wake of war, life and love move in unpredictable ways.
A Haven of Peace - Frederic returns from the battlefields to find that his fiancée has married another man. Already damaged by his battle experience, Frederic struggles to find his way and make sense of growing feelings for one who is much too young for him.
A Time To Love - Now that the war is over, Emily and Robert finally have the time to love, or so Emily believes. Then Robert takes a ministry position out of state, one that will force them to live apart. Embittered, Emily throws herself into her own pursuits; but where will they lead her heart?
The Best Laid Plans - Louisa looks forward to a new life with Peter, her fiancé, until he mysteriously disappears. Her anger and confusion drives her into the arms of another man. Peter is mired in problems Louisa knows nothing about. Will he have the courage to return? If he does, will it be too late?

A well written christen novel that took place in 1865. I enjoyed it very much.

This was an easy Christian read. Enjoyed that it was set in Waterville, close to my hometown.

Not worth it. Says it's set in Maine, but I didn't get that feel. The author seemed to have written it in a Southern dialouge and later maybe placed it in Maine. Hackneyed writing. Not interesting at all. I read two of the three stories.

Good Christian romance. Easy to read.

Very simple stories with interesting plots. Not great literature, but it was refreshing to be able to read a book without having to be concerned about language and sexual intimacies.

A good Christian based series of novellas that are related to each other.

I loved the book series. She kept me intrigued through all three books. Can't wait to read her other two books. I hope she will write some more. Her descriptions of Maine brought back many memories childhood of growing up in Maine.
