Must read Southern Writers Magazine September/October 2015 edition. Historical romance. A Mississippi plantation. A southern belle. A Union officer. Brothers. Three reared in the South, the other in the North. Would they ever see eye-to-eye? The turmoil of the Civil War rips a country asunder as lives are transformed. Alice Caldwell is young and in love in the midst of the raging war that disrupts her world. She hopes to soon become engaged when the Civil War destroys her plans, and her beau leaves to fight. Bert Russell, a Union officer, invades her life when his wounded men are moved to Whitworth College in Brookhaven, Mississippi, and he turns it into a hospital for his soldiers. When there is not enough room for his men and the Confederate soldiers, he confiscates Cotton Grove Plantation, Alice’s home, as a hospital for his remaining men and encamps on her front lawn. With her beau missing in action, Alice works at the hospital as well as her home hoping to see his face among the other arrivals. Working in the hospital with wounded and dying men changes Alice’s once-sheltered life. She’s no simpering southern belle batting lashes behind a sandalwood fan, but becomes a woman who finds the courage to go on. Through it all, the magnolia trees continue to bloom, majestic live oaks curtained with Spanish moss wave their limbs, the great Mississippi River continues to flow as the North and South battle for its control, and somehow, people go on with their lives. Brought to you by bestselling author of River Oaks Plantation, a finalist in the Grace Awards, and an Indie Award Winner. Note from author: My father was from Brookhaven, Mississippi. I remember picking cotton as a small child on my uncle’s Mississippi cotton farm. I didn’t pick much, but I can say I did pick cotton. My father’s brother took over the cotton farm, and he gave me a smaller sack and told me I could help pick the cotton. He paid me twenty-five cents for each sack I filled. I soon played out and didn’t fill very many. I think I ended up with a dollar. This is why I decided to write a historical romance set in Brookhaven, Mississippi. I was inspired to write this one because my father was from Brookhaven, Mississippi. It is Christian historical romance, though it does not preach.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. True Love Will Out. By JudyAnn Lorenz A peak into the lives of people, both Confederate and Yankee, who endured the American Civil War. This story is based around family history, but is pleasant fiction. There were 'every day' things that went on in the lives of people who were around the battlefields. They were affected by everything that went on during the war -- shortages, hostility, feuding -- without having actually been in battle.There is more than one hero in the book -- both men and women. Prejudice is examined with some scary scenes reminding us of events that should not be forgotten, even though forgiven. The trauma of being a severely wounded warrior adds one of the author's famous 'twists' to the story. The story takes every sad event and brings it full circle to peace for the families who live in a small Mississippi town. When there is a need for a field hospital, another need to preserve a plantation home is met as the home becomes a healing place for some of the wounded.Through the misery of war, true love sprouts and takes root. I like the way the author doesn't make everything come out syrupy even for all of the characters. Some die, some are not the romantic love focus, but become the focus of greater love for souls and community. Some characters are mean and nasty, others hope filled and ambitious for their future after the war.This is not an afternoon, speed read, but not difficult to stay with either. The author has opted to write about the people and their hearts, leaving battlefield logistics and statistics to others. There is no unnecessary or unseemly violence. No graphic sexual content written to fill more pages. This author favors at least one twist in a story so that just when you think you have it all figured out, something different happens, but she does the twisting gently and doesn't wreck the flow of the story. You can read, lay it down and come back when you get another chance to read. Excellent for digital reading.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. fishing in the great Mississippi River that ran behind their homes By Martha A. Cheves Alice held the cold metal key in her palm. She'd keep it on her until her beloved returned. He didn't have to tell her to visit and remember him. Memories fought each other in her mind. Visions of them on picnics, at family barbecues, fishing in the great Mississippi River that ran behind their homes. He didn't have to tell her to remember. How could she ever forget?Lonnie was the love of Alice's life but there was a war going on and he had decided to defend the South. He promised her that it would be a short war and over in no time, then they could announce their engagement, be married and love forever in the home he had built for her. 'Oh please let that be true, she prayed.'To pass the time and be of help Alice worked in the hospital that housed the southern boys who were wounded. She became the light in the eyes of some of the patients giving them hope and encouraging them to hang on and get well so they can go home to their own families. Then came a Union Colonel named Bert Russell with his own wounded and needing a place for them to be care for.As Alice got to know Colonel Russell, she couldn't help but feel a slight tingle in her heart but how could that be when she loved Lonnie. So when Lonnie shows up in the hospital in a Union uniform instead of a Rebel, Alice found her whole life about to change.This is a beautiful love story as well as a story in history. The feelings Lonnie had for Alice as well as the feelings Bert developed for her had me cheering both on and wanting more. The outcome will leave you wanting more too.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. An authentic and engaging experience. Read this book! By President Brown Life is full of pleasures, things we can enjoy if only we take the time to find them or are presented with the right opportunity. If you are reading this review then you probably understand the immense pleasure of reading a well written book with a great story. You have experienced those times when you lose grasp of your own world because you are so caught up in the one the author has created. Author B.J. Robinson did that for me with her novel The Belle and the Officer. I stayed up past 4AM so I could find out what happened with Alice, the main character, Cotton Grove and the man in her life, I won't name him so I don't give anything away. I felt for Alice throughout her gains and losses of life during the Civil War and know if I had to describe the story, characters, the entire book with one word I would use authentic. I feel that I experienced the life of Alice rather than read about her in a book. The Belle and the Officer is a well written book with a great story but also so much more. To me, it is an authentic experience of a woman in the Civil War era South trying to make sense of life, grow and love in an unsteady and dangerous world. I highly recommend this book, regardless of which genre you normally are interested in, to anyone that appreciates quality writing and storytelling.
