Faith Such as Heaven Intended
By
Amanda Lauer
HEAVEN INTENDED SERIES
Ruth Simmons follows her brothers off to fight the Civil War, but the biggest battle in which she engages is that with Captain Ben Holt, the young man bent on thwarting her plans to join him in the surgical field.
Ruth Simmons can’t bear the thought of watching her older brothers march off to war, so she decides to tag along to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in July of 1863, on the eve of the bloodiest single battle in the Civil War. In her quest to help out on the battlefront, Ruth meets the insufferable Ben Holt, a brilliant surgeon—hardly older than she—who seems determined to thwart her plans to go into medicine. Can Ruth and Ben set their political differences—and competitiveness—aside to survive the treacherous last year of the war?
