From this day forward
Penniless, pregnant, and newly widowed immigrant Rachel Gordon doesn?t believe her situation could get any worse? until she meets her new neighbors. Shortly after the War of 1812, Rachel and her husband set out from England for a plantation in South Carolina, which he had purchased sight unseen. However, while en route, Tom Gordon fell overboard and drowned, leaving Rachel, frightened and alone, to make a home for her and her newborn. Can a battle-scarred American physician who comes to her rescue also heal her wounded heart?

This cover drew my eye at church and I simply had to check it out. And I read the whole thing that afternoon. :)
I love the plucky heroine and her struggle against amazing odds to make a life for herself and those close to her. I also loved that the main characters find strength and healing by giving to others and showing compassion on those two small waifs (that part of the story was probably my favorite).
Four stars, simply because it didn't seem quite plausible that a woman would notice a man romantically quite so soon after being widowed from an abusive husband and birthing a child. Plenty of time for that later in the tale...
