Will war bring them love or will they be Lost in the Storm?

Lavena, a journalist during the Civil War, wants to become a war correspondent. She finally gets her chance, but there's a catch. She has to get an interview from a war hero who has refused to tell his story to every other journalist, and she has to accomplish this impossible task in a month or she'll lose her job.

Captain Cage, the war hero, has a secret that will destroy his military career and reputation. Now, a new journalist is trying to get him to tell what he's been hiding. He wants to ignore her, but from the moment she came into camp, he can't get her out of his mind.

Leading up to the turbulent Battles for the city of Chattanooga, will Lavena and Cage find the courage to love and forgive, or will they be swept away by their past mistakes that don't want to stay buried?

Meet the Ladies of Oberlin, the causes they're willing to fight for, and the men who capture their hearts.

My thoughts (by guest reviewer Marilyn Ridgway): Lost in the Storm is a worthwhile Christian historical novel by Tamera Lynn Kraft. The story depicted the Civil War Era with a vivid descriptive backdrop of history, hidden secrets, a forsaken solider to his true loyalty, drama, faith, God’s love and even romance. Secondary characters that were in Red Sky Over America, book one in The Ladies of Oberlin series, resurfaced in this emotional action packed tale.

Lavena was set on being the best female war reporter at a time when women were not in the war zone. She faced struggles among the troop and was challenged at times as they marched on to Chattanooga for battle after her assignment with Captain Cage and his troop. Will she survive when she discovered a deserted solider speaking with officers she was traveling with and the fact she knew this solider?

Kraft has done her research well for the Civil War Era and the issues women were fighting for along with a solid Christian message. There’s plenty of heart wrenching moments as well as cherished times for the wonderful cast of characters that faced their challenges with determination, tenacity, resilience, faith and finding forgiveness.

I received a complimentary e-book from the author. I was not required to write a positive but have shared my own opinion.
