Ch: 26

Pg:  400

Genre:  Christian Historical fiction

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Bethany House

         While Dreams of Savannah is out of my historical fiction wheel house I did however this new historical from Roseanna M White. It did start out slow but picked up after a few chapters. I loved Cordelia Delia from the very first page but it took me a while to Phineas Phin. But throughout the book as he grew and changed he grew on me.

What I loved about the novel was both Delia and Phin both realized that they had a lot to learn about themselves, each other and the world around them. And it changed both of the them. Delia’s love or story and wanting to tell others stories really hit home with the history nerd and genealogist in me. She felt like a kindred spirit. Though I think Luther is my favorite character from the book. I loved his wisdom and the fact that he tells Phin what he needs to hear even if he doesn’t want to hear it.

While Dreams of Savannah is set during the civil war Roseanna M. White handles the subject with grace and truth. It is a timely book with a message that is still needs to heard today. And it shows that we still have a lot to learn.

Dreams of Savannah

Cordelia Owens can weave a dream around anything and is well used to winning the hearts of everyone in Savannah with her whimsy. Even when she receives word that her sweetheart has been lost during a raid on a Yankee vessel, she clings to hope and comes up with many a romantic tale of his eventual homecoming to reassure his mother and sister.

But Phineas Dunn finds nothing redemptive in the first horrors of war. Struggling for months to make it home alive, he returns to Savannah injured and cynical, and all too sure that he is not the hero Cordelia seems determined to make him.

As the War Between the States rages ever nearer and Savannah’s slaves start sneaking away to the islands off the coast to join the Yankees, both Phin and Cordelia get caught up in questions they never thought they’d have to ask–questions that threaten the very dreams of a future they’d cherished.
