Love Beyond Limits
The war is over, but Emily faces a battle in following her heart.
Emily Derracott loves her childhood friend Thomas McGinnis, but she cannot marry a man who doesn’t share her strong convictions about the freedmen. Besides, she harbors a secret love for someone else. But the prospect of becoming his wife is not only improbable–it is a completely impossible.
This novella is from the collection Among the Fair Magnolias about four Southern women–destinies forged by birth, hearts steeled by war–face near impossible choices on their journeys in life. . . and in love.
