"I thoroughly enjoyed Christmas at Carnton! Tamera Alexander conveys the heartache and hardship of being a widow during the Civil War era, even as she invites us to take a deep breath, relax, and become absorbed in Jake and Aletta's journey. This tender love story between two wounded people whom God brings together for healing is a book readers will enjoy anytime - but especially at Christmas!"

"A steadfast heroine, a redemption-seeking hero, and a complex Southern society in post-Civil War America seamlessly combine in Tamera Alexander's To Wager Her Heart.

Honor. Faith. And love . . . this novel's a journey in them all!"~Kristy Cambron, bestselling author of The Illusionist's Apprentice and the Hidden Masterpiece series   "Tamera Alexander has created a story that blends true historical events with unforgettable characters. Her vivid depiction of the struggles of the newly freed slaves, the expansion of the railway, and the journey of the Jubilee Singers brings post-Civil War Nashville roaring to life. To Wager Her Heart interweaves heroic life challenges with rich spirituality and a sigh-worthy romance. The story and characters will stay with you long after the last page is turned."~Susan Anne Mason, award-winning author of Irish Meadows and the Courage to Dream series
