Holding the Fort

Aw, this was such a fun read! The story is lighthearted and very well researched. It was easy to like Louisa and to root for her and Major Adams to fall for each other. The two girls, Caroline and Daisy, are enjoyable youngsters as well.

I have to say, that introduction between Louisa and Major Adams (him trying a stunt and landing at her feet!) was hilarious and one of the best/most memorable meetings I've read. I can always count on Jennings to write in some good humorous scenes, and this one was too much fun. Also, the General Sheridan vs. Edna scenes were most hilarious!

It was dear and lovely to learn about Louisa starting to open her heart to God and realize her need for salvation. I love books that include a specifically Christian message, and this one is very well done. If you're looking for a thoughtful book that's light and enjoyable at the same time, pick this one up.
