"...Diane Wylie describes an outstanding tale that has the reader feeling compassion for the characters... One can feel the trepidation and sorrow, even when the soldiers storm into the people’s homes. Lila’s Vow is a story thathttp://www.coffeetimeromance.com/BookReviews/lilasvow.html
moved me with its emotions and in-depth sensations... This is one extraordinary story that comes highly recommended and should not be missed."

If you are interested in purchasing LILA'S VOW, here are some links:
Amazon.comLila Sutton lives in Gettysburg, PA where she helps support her widowed mother, Beatrice, as a schoolteacher. Thrust into the middle of the Civil War, Lila’s home becomes a makeshift hospital where she and Bea nurse wounded Union soldiers. When Captain Jack Montgomery arrives with a bullet in his shoulder, Lila tends to him, but the influx of wounded is more than anyone can care for and Lila is worked well past exhaustion. Her only relief is the time and conversations she is able to have with Captain Montgomery, who has fallen in love with his angel of mercy. Love at first sight is a concept Lila never really believed in, but she finds herself attracted to the captain in a way that can be explained no other way...
Having read Jenny’s Passion, the first book in this series, I was anxiously awaiting Lila’s Vow, and hoping the anticipation was worth it. As the mother of a United States Marine who has been to both Iraq and Afghanistan, and was wounded in battle, Ms. Wylie had me at the book’s dedication, but as I read the story, I simply could not put it down until I had devoured every last word.
Lila’s Vow is an extremely well written novel, but beyond being well written, it is also a story that touches the heart and soul. Ms. Wylie does a wonderful job of weaving the characters’ stories and lives together. I also loved the fact that she brought the love between Jenny and David into this story, which flowed seamlessly from Jenny’s Passion to Lila’s Vow and gave the feeling that this really wasn’t two separate novels, but one incredible account of the lives of real people. The author didn’t leave out Lila’s mother either, and I loved it that she brought romance and marriage to a woman of an age I can really relate to!
Don’t miss this book! And Ms. Wylie, when is the next installment coming? Please tell me there is a third book on the way! [From Diane--Sorry there is not another book in this series. But there will be another historial coming.]
