I thoroughly enjoy Ms. Abbott's books and this set that contains two previously published books will not disappoint. The two stories relate events in the life of a young lady, Hannah, and her evolving relationship with Lt. Jake Burdock. As a Civil War history nerd, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the many accurate facts intertwined throughout the books.
Book 1: Hannah's Handkerchief
Hannah loves all things beautiful. A tough thing for a poor farmer's daughter. You can only imagine how excited she is when invited to a dance celebrating the impending end of the Civil War. To her it doesn't matter that its a fundraider for medical supplies and care for the wounded soldiers. It is a FANCY dance, and she gets to wear a beautiful gown with all the glittery accessories.! Lt. Jake Burdock catches her eye, and after dancing together, both realize their is a strong attraction. She even gives him a beautiful handkerchief she has embroidered. Unfortunately, two problems stand in their way. Hannah is known as the "good daughter.' She almost always obeys her overly strict and rigid parents who believe she is still too young to court. They also do not want their daughter in a relationship with a soldier. Jake is stationed in the far reaches of the Kansas wilderness; an unforgiving and primitive setting. It is not a place to bring a wife, particularly one who wants the finer things of life. Both are tough issues to overcome. Will written correspondence between the two be enough for a relationship to develop?
Book 2: Hannah's Highest Regard
I thought book one was hard to put down, but this was my favorite of the two. Hannah and Jake continue their correspondence and are now officially courting. He gives her a beautiful locket from a Bavarian jeweler as a tangible remembrance. Jake continues to carry the handkerchief she gave him everywhere. Rarely; however, do they get to spend time together. Jake's orders still have him miles away in the midst of conflicts with the Native Americans. (Ms. Abbott's description of the unrest associated with forcing Native Americans onto reservations and insisting they farm poor soil will grab your attention.) To compound this problem, Hannah has to deal with sibling and parental interference in her realtionship with her beau. Jake soon has competition for Hannah's affections, Lt Andrew Call. He is readily available to truly court her. Does her parents approve of this soldier? Will the bond Hannah and Jake have built over time be strong enough to withstand this intruder?
I loved this set, all of the history mixed with clean romance, Christian surprises, conflicts and solutions and several surprises.
