About the Book

Book:  Draw Me To Your Side

Genre:  Christian Historical Romance
Release Date: February 25, 2020
Draw Me to Your Side frontWarships in the harbor explode with battle cries for freedom in the hearts of Charles Town’s Patriots.
 Charles Town, South Carolina, 1776—With the British war ships threatening his family and livelihood, Louis Lestarjette commits to aid Francis Marion, Christopher Gadsden, Silas Deane and other fiery Patriots with secret correspondences in code and in French. Although not convinced that the colonies can succeed in separation from Britain, he abides by his word—available with funds, his time, and if necessary, even his life.
 Louis’ potential volatile role leaves Elizabeth Lestarjette uncertain of the future. Add to that her impending confinement, the secret missions her friends embark on, and the ever-encroaching danger into her domestic world, and the cost of independence grows steeper with each passing day. How will her family survive the coming turbulence?  How will she survive not being an active part of it?  One thing is certain, she must draw to God’s side or lose heart altogether.
 Draw Me to Your Side… a prayer whispered against the coming destruction.

"Draw Me To Your Side"  by Marguerite Martin Gray is a continuation from the other three books in the series. I have really enjoying reading this series. I feel like I know these characters, even if they are fictional.

I think this book is my favorite of the four because I feel we get to see more of the character's point of view and more of their family life and how the war affects them personally. 

This book has two scenes that made me what to cry. I will tell you that they involve Elizabeth's father and brother. I really recommend reading all the books in order as they are, as I already stated, in continuation of the colonies trying to win indolence, as well as a clean love story.

 I received a complimentary copy from the author and Celebrate Lit. These opinions are my own. 

About  the Author

Marguerite GrayMarguerite Martin Gray enjoys history especially when combined with fiction.

More from Marguerite

I have always loved history, probably because my father took me to every historical site he could find on our travels. As I listened to him tell the story of our ancestors to a group of tourists at our Antebellum home, I suddenly realized that he was weaving tales about my own blood line. Very soon after that I flew to Charleston, South Carolina and began my research. From that first of many trips, my Revolutionary Faith Series arrived.
Draw Me to Your Side is Book Four of the series. The titles play a very significant role in the series, each having a dual meaning. The human element is obvious. Although the series is more historical than romance, the titles offer a glimpse into a potential romance. The other element is spiritual. God is the one who weaves his love and hope into their lives.
If you love book titles as I do, as you read this series, see if you can determine the dual meanings of Hold Me Close, Surround Me, Bring Me Near, and now Draw Me to Your Side.
Happy Reading!

This author does a fantastic job showing relationships, and in book 4 Draw me Close, we see the relationships being tested and strengthened in trying times. As I read this book I felt that I was there as a part of the conversations, planning and the worry and hope. Beautifully written.
