Wedded to War swept me away into a powerful, deep and heartfelt drama. My heart ached for the cast of conflicted characters. This story is brilliantly woven from the fabric of history with characters that pulled at my heart as they endured unimaginable aspects of war. It moved me and marked my heart. This story is meant to be experienced and shared with others. With so much to discuss from cover to cover, it’s a top choice for book clubs!

Sounds like a great book, and a book club sounds like fun!
Nora, I have this whole series on my very long TBR list, waiting for me to get to. I love Jocelyn's books.
Blessings,Tina
Intriguing story. Shared it on FB and Twitter!
Sounds good
Thank you for this recommendation. I like large print books that work well for the vision impaired. This sounds like a perfect summer read. The cover grabs my attention as well as what you wrote about it.
This was an excellent book. Loved the whole series matter of fact!
Sounds like a good read. Thanks for the recommendation.

Hi Nora, Thanks for your review. This sounds like a good book, especially for those who like history.
Thanks for the recommendation, Nora. I read Jocelyn's Widow of Gettysburg, and it was amazing. I'll have to check this one out, too.
Sounds like a great book to read, similar to one I'm currently reading about the same time frame.
This book sounds wonderful. I'm always looking for good books about the Civil War time period. Thank you for telling me about this one. I hadn't heard of it before. I'm going to request it from my library since I don't live close enough to request it from yours. :) I love reading your reviews to find more books I want to read.
Sounds like an interesting read!
Sounds like a great book to read.
I love books about the Civil War. Your description of the book has convinced me to buy a copy to read. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for the review. I'll have to be on the lookout for it. Jocelyn Green is such a wonderfully gifted author!
I haven't read much set in that era. It sounds really good.
I enjoyed reading the review as well as the comments of Jocelyn's reader fans. Definitely sounds like a book for the TBR pile! Thanks!
This sounds like a wonderful book to enjoy reading. Thanks for the review.
Apppreciate the recommendation! I will have to look for it.
Historical novels are my absolute favorite. It's great to discover other writers with great new stories. Thank you for sharing.
95% of my reading is historical inspirational. This sounds like a book I would read!
Thanks for the great review!
Wonderful review, Nora! I've shared on FB.
Thank you for sharing, Patricia!
We're glad to hear you patronize your local library, Cheri. Thank you for visiting our blog!
Sounds like a great book. I will have to see if it's available at our county library. Looking for my spring line up of reading for our book club
Thank you for sharing, Caryl!
It makes our hearts happy when our blog readers say they're headed to the library! We're curious - would you mind letting us know what library system you patronize?
Sounds like one I'd really enjoy!
You should look through your pile Tina. You'll never look at the Civil War the same way!
I live in Gwinnett and love the library
I love what I've read by Jocelyn Green so far! Can't wait to read this one!
Wedded to War is a fantastic book, as are the other books in this Civil War series. Jocelyn Green's books are always very well researched and written.
Nora, thanks for the review. I have Wedded to War in my TBR pile.
I really enjoy Civil War fiction. Thank you for introducing this book to me. I definitely will add this to my TBR list.
Great review, Nora. Thanks for posting!
I really want to get this series! I just read my first book by Green, The Mark of the King and it was AMAZING!
I love to read historical novels and stories built around them, I have never read anything by this writer but if I get the chance I would, thanks Nora for letting me know about this book.
This book drew me into it and has stayed in my heart. It introduced me to the rest of the series which is so very good that i will read them over and over and have shared them with a book club. I have found another new author who writes books that tug at your heart.
The Civil War amazes me. How people lived and how the worked differently back then always makes me thinks. As the Great niece of a WWII POW I think that there should be more books like this out there. Thanks for the great review. I can not wait to read it.
*Always makes me think*
Looks like a read I must pursue and share with my book club, too! Thanks for this timely review!
