Gentle Hearts

Description for GENTLE HEARTS by Clara Wimberly:

As the Civil War raged through a divided land, Lida Rinehart felt safe in her simple Amish world - sewing, cooking...and dreaming. Then, one dark night, her brother died helping John Sexton lead runaway slaves to freedom - and her serene homespun life was no more.

Lida had been taught to obey; now she decided to rebel. Plunging into an unknown and perilous world, she struggled to carry on her brother's work - and battled with her own heart. For as the war intensified all around her, so did her feelings for rugged, mysterious John Sexton. An outsider to her people's ways and a threat to all she believed, he was also a man who awakened desire...and now demanded the one thing she was forbidden to give: her love.
