    my point of view of Saratoga Letters by Elaine Cooper PLUS a ~*Giveaway*~

    July 25, 2019 in my point of view

    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 knowsβ€”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?

    my point of view:

    Anyone that knows me, knows I love a good historical, and romance, suspense, and a history lesson all too well! This amazing book combines all of that into one beautiful novel. Reading all about an intense time in the Revolutionary War, getting a glimpse into the British vs the Patriots, the hard life suffered by all involved, well, it is told so fittingly in this story. Elaine Cooper does her research and applies that knowledge here.

    The suspense carries us through 1777 and all the way in 1977, when the ancestors of the first half of the story come together at a re-enactment of this great time. What great fun it is when Abby and Ian meet and learn they are on “opposite” sides of the war, lol, but have a grand time taking part in the re-enactment anyway. Along the way they face a mystery of it’s own, and delve into the past to learn about their ancestors, never realizing that the history from 200 years ago will play a major part in their life and future today!

    I am a sentimental mess, and I love anything ancestral, so this story touched my heart and I will treasure it always! Amazingly, it is free on Kindle Unlimited, or just $0.99 on Amazon, but Elaine is giving away a free one, see below to learn how you can win your own copy!

      When I was in school, my favorite subject was not History and that is a fact! when I read romance historical books , I have learned more about history. Now that I am much older I really like hearing about historical happenings. I like where the stories take me and I learn more about history.

        Hi Alicia! I think when you incorporate true historical facts into a fictional format with characters who come alive, the history itself becomes more memorable. I’m so glad that you enjoy the history as well as the romance! Thanks for commenting! Elaine

        Oh, I understand, Alicia! Mine was history, though, lol!!

      Once again, you’ve introduced me to another new-to-me author!! I’ve never read a book about the Revoluationary War. I’ve seen the Johnny Tremaine movie many times, since we watched it almost every year when I was in school!! I like reading historical books, though, as I always find something that I didn’t know before, and it helps to put things in perspective.

      • AvatarElaine Cooper says

        July 25, 2019 at 1:42 pm

        Hi Trudy! So happy to be introduced to you! Most of my books are set in the Revolutionary War period so I hope you have a chance to read them all. And I LOVED Johnny Tremain! Have a blessed day! Elaine

        I love that about reading fiction during historical time periods, and Elaine is awesome at research, I promise you that!

      Sounds intriguing. I haven’t read a lot of historical fiction but the ones I’ve read were from the old west. I think I might have to read this one!

      • AvatarElaine Cooper says

        July 25, 2019 at 1:46 pm

        Hi Carol, I love a good western novel, Carol! I’m a fan of Erika Vetsch and Pam Hillman. It seems that more and more books are emerging from the Revolutionary War period. I’m quite happy about that because that is an era close to my heart, since I grew up in Massachusetts. I hope you get a chance to read “Saratoga Letters!” Be blessed! Elaine

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

      I have always been intrigued by history…it was my minor…and I love learning new facts and information through story form. I read a lot of WWII historical fiction but have been trying to expand and include other major events as well. Thank you for the chance at reading your wonderful book!

        The blessing is mine, Cynthia, to share my books with readers. I love absorbing history facts and turning them into novels. I hope you get a chance to read “Saratoga Letters,” and all my books. πŸ™‚ Elaine

      I lived in Saratoga. The cover reminds me of what Saratoga probably looked like long ago. Makes me miss home a lot more.

      • AvatarElaine Cooper says

        July 26, 2019 at 1:36 pm

        Hi Marie! I have visited Saratoga twice for research and SUCH a beautiful area of the country. My ancestor fought there as a British soldier (!!!) and that’s what drew me to the National Park there. I’m sure you miss it if you live far away. Blessings, Elaine

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        July 26, 2019 at 4:47 pm

        How wonderful, Marie! I would love to read about a place I actually lived in! I know what you mean about getting homesick though, I miss my Jersey roots!

      Historicals are one of my favorites genre’s because they open a piece of history that is usually not well known and, usually, the author has done a ton of research about that time period.

      • AvatarElaine Cooper says

        July 26, 2019 at 1:39 pm

        Hi Amanda! I’m so glad you appreciate all the research that goes into historical fiction. Every author I know spends a great deal of time getting the facts accurate. Readers and others are so knowledgeable that someone is likely to pick up on errors! Thanks for enjoying my favorite genre! Blessings, Elaine

      • AvatarPaula Marie says

        July 26, 2019 at 5:02 pm

        Yes, Amanda, I love when the author really knows what they are writing about!

      This is my favorite time in history! I had some ancestors that fought at Saratoga! I love learning about the early history of our country. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I had many ancestors that fought in it.
