The Seeker by Ann Gabhart

MY THOUGHTS:
This book was a pure delight from the first page until the last. I loved the story of Charlotte and her journey to finding herself and rooted for her and for Adam to find what they both needed. It is a book that I will definitely pass along, both for its insight into the Shaker world and its beautiful message.

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

Set during the 1860s, The Seeker introduces readers to Charlotte Vance, a pampered Kentucky gentlewoman who knows what she wants. But when the man she planned to marry joins the Shakers—a religious group that does not allow marriage—she is left dumbfounded. And when her father brings home a new wife who is young enough to be Charlotte’s sister, it is more than she can bear.

With the country—and her own household—on the brink of civil war, Charlotte hatches a plan to avoid her new stepmother and win back her man by joining the Shaker community at Harmony Hill. Little does she know that this decision will lead her down a road of unforeseen consequences.

In this moving and well-researched story, Gabhart brings alive the strikingly different worlds of the Southern gentry, the simple Shakers, and the ravages of war during the 1860s to deliver a touching story of love, freedom, and forgiveness.

She joined the Shakers to escape her troubles …
But unforeseen consequences threaten all she holds dear
