Thomas Nelson · 2015 · ★ 4.28/5 on Goodreads (1,500+)
Savannah Darby would do almost anything to revisit her family home. So when new owner Aidan Bedford—a Boston attorney and former Union soldier—seeks to redecorate the house for his fiancée, Savannah jumps at the opportunity. But the clock is ticking. Can she find the box her father supposedly hid there during the war before her assignment is completed? And before she sees yet another battle lost on the home front—this time, one of the heart.
Note: We first meet Savannah Darby as a secondary character in To Win Her Favor. To Mend a Dream tells the rest of her story. Available individually as eBook and audiobook; in print as part of the Southern novella collection Among the Fair Magnolias.
Praise for To Mend a Dream
"Savannah and Aidan's story touched me deeply. A century and a half later, people really haven't changed so much—we still have the same longings, the same fears, the same trials."
— Deborah Raney, bestselling author of The God Who series
"You don't have to be a fan of Southern fiction or historical fiction to appreciate and enjoy the fabulous storytelling in this collection. Each story is different and readers will 'feel all the feels' as they experience the challenges these characters encounter."
— Romantic Times, 4½-Star Review (for Among the Fair Magnolias, the novella collection containing To Mend a Dream)
"Among the Fair Magnolias will sweep you into the past, carrying you into the beauty and battles of the Old South. You will love, laugh, and lament as your heart is inspired to face life with courage and live it more fully."
— Cindy Woodsmall, New York Times and CBA bestselling author (for Among the Fair Magnolias)
"Four talented authors have penned a charming collection of stories that take place in the Deep South. Passions simmer, romance blossoms, and history comes alive. The settings are so real you can almost smell the sweet scent of magnolias on every page. This all adds up to a winning combination that was truly a delight to read."
— Margaret Brownley, bestselling author of The Brides of Last Chance Ranch and Undercover Ladies series (for Among the Fair Magnolias)
