5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Intriguing Historical Fiction! By DianFlow In the masterful prose she is so well known for, author Ann H. Gabhart has penned another fascinating story of the religious sect known as The Shakers during the post-Civil War era.It has been two long, lonely years since Carlyn Kearney received news from the Union Army that her husband, Ambrose, was missing. In hopes that he might still be alive, Carlyn waits patiently—but finds herself penniless and at the mercy of the cruel and lascivious Curt Whitlow, the owner of her house. Curt arrives with Mitchell Brodie, the kind and handsome new sheriff in town, to force her from her home. With nowhere else to go Carlyn finds herself seeking refuge at the Shaker village of Harmony Hill. Under the strict tutelage of Sister Edna, Carlyn learns the strange ways of the Shakers. Marriage and other worldly ties and possessions are forbidden and considered a sin, and instead of living a simple life stringent rules must be learned and obeyed. Soon mysterious deaths disturb the peace of the Shaker village and Mitchell is determined to find the culprit. Mitchell and Carlyn fight their growing attraction for one another as she is still a married woman—or is she? Will her beloved Ambrose make his way back home to her awaiting arms? And when she finds herself in terrible danger, will either man arrive in time to rescue her from the dark clutches of death?I have read all of Ann H. Gabhart's books regarding the Shakers and let me tell you; they are truly mesmerizing! From their strange worship dances and furious stomping to the separation of families and earthly possessions, Ms. Gabhart's research and vast knowledge of the Shaker religion is impeccable. Except for the fact that they were a very hard working, devout people that believed in living simply, the Shakers were very much unlike the Amish in that they followed the teachings of Mother Ann and total celibacy. The Innocent is an exciting page-turner you won't be able to put down until the climatic conclusion! Be sure to order your copy today!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Interesting Story about the Shaker Religion. By Giveaway Gal I am always intrigued by other cultures than the one I live in. Whether it be Amish, Mennonite, Shaker, or foreign or even different time periods. So when I was offered the chance to review this book here, by an author I enjoy, I went for it. Needless to say I had varied emotions while reading this one.The story itself is interesting and the plot is a good one. A woman, Carlyn, is forced to leave her home after her husband goes missing in the Civil War. She doesn't know whether he is alive and missing, or dead and missing, but she chooses to live as if he were still alive out there somewhere. When push comes to shove though, she finds herself being put out of her home and decides to move in with the Shaker women at their nearby village. Carlyn doesn't believe as they do but it gives her a place to live without any bills to pay.I enjoyed Carlyn, even though I didn't agree with her decisions, and the Sheriff was my personal favorite. Troubled and tormented by his past, Mitchell has compassion on the "widow" and tries to help out where he can. Of course it doesn't help that he just might have feelings for her as well:) With all that said, I do have to say that I will probably never read another book about Shakers. And it has nothing to do with the author's writing at all, but rather with the Shaker religion. I found myself amazed and rather bewildered by some of the things they teach. And yes, I went to research for myself about their faith after I got done with this book. For quite a bit into the book I had no clue who they were talking about when the sisters kept bringing up Mother Ann. I kind of had an idea in the back of my mind over who she was, but when I went and did my research, I was a bit weirded(is that a real word?) out. Her visions and prophecies are a mainstay of the Shaker religion, such as celibacy is essential for salvation, and she is also looked upon as being all the perfections of God in female form, as well as the "second coming of Christ"?? Sorry, but just too much for me that goes against Scripture.So, while I found the plot to be good and I love this author's novels, I will make sure to only read the historical ones not dealing with the Shaker religion:) If you are open to reading ones like this, please pick up her book. It is quite interesting to see how they live and what they believe.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. All thoughts are 100% mine.

The romance and Carlyn's story comes to life on the pages and it's as if you are right there. It is so wonderful you don't want to miss it.I loved going back to Harmony Hill but you must know that this can be a stand alone book if you have not read the other five books in the series.Full of romance and heart you really should not miss this one.I gave this book four stars and recommend it.I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
