Giveaway: To Whisper Her Name by Tamera Alexander
Thanks to Babs Chandrasoma of PR By the Book for making this giveaway possible.
Book Description:
To Whisper Her Name is the first installment of a series set against the backdrop of the historic Belle Meade Plantation in the aftermath of the Civil War.
To Whisper Her Name is a story about leaving the old and beginning the new, and about the choices we make that echo for eternity. It’s about enslavement and freedom, arrogance and humility, and the power of love to heal even the deepest of wounds.
Olivia Aberdeen, destitute widow of a man shot as a traitor to the South, is shunned by proper society and gratefully accepts an invitation from “Aunt” Elizabeth Harding, mistress of Belle Meade Plantation. Expecting to be the Harding’s head housekeeper, Olivia is disillusioned when she learns the real reason Elizabeth’s husband, Confederate General William Giles Harding, agreed to her coming. Not finding the safe haven she expects, Olivia is caught off guard by her feelings for Ridley Adam Cooper, a Southern man who seems anything but a Southern gentleman.
Branded a traitor by some, Ridley Cooper, a Southern son who chose to fight for the Union, is a man desperate to end the war still raging inside him. Determined to learn “the gift” that Belle Meade's head horse trainer and former slave, Bob Green, possesses, Ridley harbors secrets that threaten both their lives.
As Ridley seeks to make peace within himself for “betraying” the South he loved, Olivia is determined to never be betrayed again.
