Healed By Grace by Jenna Brandt – 4.5 Stars




This book isn’t long you sure can finish it in a day.  In this day and age, something that takes you to another time and place showing that people who came through a very awful war that left so many with mental problems, nightmares, PTSD even though they didn’t know what that was at the time and seeing some come through it and find love and happiness together is a refreshing read.  The book gives hope and a feeling that love with prevail.  The characters are well written, you are invested in finding out how their story ends and it is a great read as usual.  I love Jenna Brandt’s writing.  This is a book in a series which I’ve not read any other books in the series and you don’t have to either, you’ll not miss anything.


I received an ARC from the author and have written this review of my own volition and all thoughts and comments on this book are my own and given freely.

Description as found on Goodreads:

Grace Abernathy helped wounded soldiers during the American Civil War. Now that it’s over, she has to find a way to move on. Her parents think having her stay with her cousins in Myrtle Grove, South Carolina, can help her do just that. She isn’t looking for love after what she went through, but when she spends time with a returning soldier she knew from a long time ago, she wonders if he might spark a rekindling in her heart.

Wyatt Hammond was conscripted to serve in the Confedrate military. Though he only served for a few months before the war ended, the horrors he saw during that time haunt him. He isn’t sure if he can ever be happy again, until he is reunited with an old flame who has the power to heal his broken heart.

Can Grace forget her painful past? Will Wyatt be able to let go of what he went through during the war? And what will happen when the man Grace is running from, finally catches up with her
