wait for me coverA town besieged by the enemy with just one Sovereign order: wait.

Charles Town, South Carolina, 1780

With the inevitable occupation of Charles Town by the British pounding at the gates, Louis Lestarjette braces for possible imprisonment or worse. How can he provide for his growing family with the evil chains of the enemy binding his source of existence? The scenarios of imprisonment and starvation force him to realize he has no control over the outcome of the stronghold of the British. All that remains is a sense of survival at almost any cost.

Elizabeth Lestarjette faces looming confinement with both a drive to protect her children and a desire to do her part to undermine the enemy.  They must thwart the British plans to imprison more men, but how?  Who can they trust?

Just how long will Elizabeth’s confidence in justice withstand the constant battering of war and circumstance?
Discover the destiny of the Lestarjette family in the final book of the Revolutionary Faith Series as they hope and wait upon deliverance from a world under siege.

"Wait for Me " by Marguerite Martin Gray is book 5 in the "The Revolutionary Faith" Series.  Again, I recommend reading the entire series in order to get the full story because each novel builds on the last. The reader can learn much about this time period even through the books are fiction. It is easy to see that the author really researched her material before writtng these books.

 I really appreciate that they are clean romance as well.  This novel clearly shows that God is with His people during times of war and other times, as faith is a big part of this novel as well as the other novels in this series. 

I think these stories are so good to me as a reader because it shows real life and shows characters who face challenges and struggles, and whom the author shows they have doubts and fears and aren't afraid to voice them but through it all they cling to their faith and believe that God will sustain them!

I was given a contemporary copy by the author and Celebrate Lit and these are my own opinions.

More from Marguerite

Thank you for stopping by the Wait for Me tour. I’m so excited about the release of this novel, the finale of the Revolutionary Faith series,

I have always been fascinated with the ordinary—the simple acts from day to day. When an historical event is added, I surround my fascination with questions. What did they wear or eat? Why did they marry? Did they have children? Where did they shop? What is incredible or surprising to me about the historical event or activity was at one time ordinary to the characters whether in fiction or nonfiction.

The ordinary that I like to encounter and write in historical fiction includes how the characters dressed. I even had the dress pictured here made for me just in case I want to present in costume!

Also, I like to explore the food my characters ate. I found a wonderful recipe for a beefsteak pie in an American Girl cookbook. I’ve made it several times. Yummy!

The ordinary activities such as going to church or to the market or mercantile make the characters real. Their lives have depth in their interaction with society. My simple faith in God’s provisions and promises flow into the lives of my characters. What makes the story exciting is the historical element linked with the dramatic background of war.

Thank you for continuing the journey with Wait for Me, rooted in the ordinary from two centuries ago.

I will so enjoy a series that shows faith being lived out during the American Revolution, especially since I have not read many books set during this particular era.
