A forgotten war. An unforgettable romance.
1846 – Mexican American War
An Army nurse, An Irish Immigrant. What were the chances that they would meet? Ximena Salomé is a Mexican Healer; John Riley is an Irish immigrant fighting in the Yankee army. Disillusioned with the war and atrocities, he forms the St. Patrick’s Battalion. This is when they meet and attraction blooms.
Lyrical and beautiful. A lush and moving book about immigrants, love, war, relationships, and survival. What makes this book even better is that it is based on real people, real events, and history.
This was a wonderfully researched and beautiful look at war and romance. I love books where I learn, feel and feel emotion. This book provided all of those and more!
What a wonderful and moving tale. I believe this is one that I would revisit in the future.
