1777 The Battle of Saratoga, a turning point of the Revolutionary War, gives the American Continental Army its first great victory. But there seems little to celebrate for Abigail, a woman forced to tend to a wounded British soldier. While nursing William back to health, Abigail finds herself pursued by others in the enemy camp who have less than gallant intentions toward her. Fearful of who she can trust and who might betray her, she leans on her faith and God's Providence for survival. 1977 On the anniversary of the Battle of Saratoga, thousands arrive from Europe and the United States to celebrate the event. Among the re-enactors are descendants of the original participants from both sides of the battle. One young American, Abby, meets the offspring of a British soldier. But when she finds herself almost assaulted by some men at the event, Abby turns to the only person she knows--her British ally. Can she trust him with her life? Or will he betray her in the same way loyalist spies betrayed her ancestors? Perhaps her answer lies in the letters from her ancestor and namesake, Abigail. Can regrets from the past stir love's resolve in the present? 2017 Selah Awards Finalist Written for the General Market (G) (I) Contains little or no; sexual dialogue or situations, violence, or strong language. May also contain some content of an inspirational/religious nature.… (lisätietoja)

Saratoga Letters by Elaine Marie Cooper, © 2016
In Pursuit of Liberty and Love series, Book 1

I was so excited to begin reading this story... I did not look at the cover or read about it ~ I went right to Chapter 1. How surprised I was, absorbed to the finish, to see Part 2 and a new story. Obviously, If... I hadn't gone directly to the Chapter 1 heading, I would have seen it said Part 1. Some stories will have a Chapter 1 preview of the next book... This is complete. Read on to find the connection between them!

So well written, Part 1 tells the story of a Patriot nurse tending the wounded King's Army soldiers. She got on-the-job training as she was a local young woman pressed into service with her hidden alliance and introduced as Mrs. Gillingham, as unmarrieds were not accepted as caregivers. Fortunate for the injured, Abigail was the daughter of a doctor and had skills with his medicinals.

Revolutionary War of 1777 ~ Colonists vs British ~ two Battles of Saratoga
The characters portrayed in this time period were lively and visual. The author was extremely attentive to accuracy and detail. As I was reading, I was unaware the emotions and reasoning were directed at repair ~ readying to re-enter battle a second time following their injuries. The hospital tent was a place of constant change and rapid decisions keeping tasks anew for each patient as they entered. Although not there on her own accord, Abigail is valuable and resourceful for both staff and wounded under her care. Dedicated and dependable, she is trusted by the matron of nurses. She is watched out for and favored upon observation of her visible compassion. The throngs of war, without and within.

The 200th Anniversary of the Battle of Saratoga
Abby Carpenter and her brother are preparing to leave for Saratoga Springs to attend the bicentennial celebration in the place of their father. Surgery recovery keeps Scott from going, and a mix up at the arrival terminal keeps Abby from renting a car. Fortunately, three other people in line are going to the same ceremony, and Abby shares a car with one of them. A Brit, and an ancestral story begins.

In Part 2, letters written following the Battle of Saratoga are handed down through the generations. Interesting the similarity of turmoil and questioning carried forward through misunderstandings and supposed blame. Regrets become promises of good. I liked the descriptions and travels of the characters as trust was built. I enjoyed reading this follow-up story to Part 1 together, and read it straight through!

Title: Saratoga Letters
Author: Elaine Marie Cooper
Pages: 360
Year: 2016
Publisher: Lighthouse Publishing of the Carolinas
My rating is 5 stars.
What an amazing storyteller the author is as her talent really shines throughout the novel! The setting is during the Revolutionary War in New York where a young lady is alone in her cabin after her father dies. Her cruel uncle comes and demands she help bring aid to the British, knowing she had patriotic leanings. In order to use her to his side’s benefit, he takes her to a local hospital on a farm and introduces her as Mrs. Gillingham when she really is single, but women aren’t allowed to nurse unless they are married.
Now, 200 years later, an ancestor of the brave Mrs. Gillingham is returning for the bicentennial celebration of those whose ancestors served during the birth of America’s freedom. Ian comes all the way from London to honor his father, who had died. The Battle of Saratoga was one that brought astounding results to both armies and therefore to their descendants.
Here is such a gripping tale that I couldn’t help but be drawn into and anticipate how the plot was going to end! My heart was stirred as various actions and words brought to my mind bravery, honesty, chivalry, and the high cost many paid for America to be a nation. There is mystery, action, danger, adventure, revenge, faith, and so much more. I cannot say enough about how thoroughly enjoyable this book was to me. It is fast paced with never a dull moment!
I hope that you will read the book and consider gifting a copy to other readers you know who love a good story with action and romance thrown in. I will long remember this tale and after some time has passed I am sure I will reread it to enjoy it once again. What an interesting way to tell a story that ties people together with 200 years in between! Brilliant!
