The Daughter of Shiloh (Enduring Hope Book 3) by Terri J. Haynes

 

Lealie Bevard, a determined Tuskegee Institute student, attends the Shiloh Baptist Church convention in Birmingham on September 19, 1902, to request a scholarship for continued education at Harvard. But a beautiful gathering turns tragic when a stampede breaks out and Lealie is injured. While convalescing at the home of fellow Tuskegee student Milton Rafferty, Lealie’s concerns for her future are set aside to help Milton uncover a mystery revolving around missing church funds and a possible murder. Perhaps a pause in Lealie’s well-laid plans can be used for good and lead to love.

Her passion is to draw readers into the story world she has created and to bring laughter and joy to their lives.

My Review

 

This book is part of a series, but it can be read alone!
This is the story of survival, a time of real danger, and and based on real event with a large amount of fatalities. A really scary time in Birmingham, and those you expect to give help, and those most people have written off end up being the savior.
This is a sweet story of going home, even when you know your not wanted. It is a love story, a mom and a son, and a badly hurt girl, they know each other, barely.
Fate puts these young Tuskegee Institute students, they have so much courage and determination, and yet they care for those in need.
Will these two find each other in the end, or will the need to better oneself at another college win out?
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Barbour, and was not required to give a positive review.
