A World Such as Heaven Intended

Amara McKirnan and Nathan Simmons share a devotion to their Catholic faith but their loyalties lie on opposite sides of the Civil War. Dedicated to the Confederate cause, Amara offers to help out at her uncle’s makeshift hospital in Atlanta. Fate brought Nathan to their doorstep and into Amara’s life. Little does Amara know that the wounded soldier she cares for harbors a secret that will not only jeopardize his life but hers as well.

Follow Amara and Nathan’s story from the heart of war-torn Atlanta to the Northern Georgia battlefields to the plains of East Texas as their lives become intertwined in a way that shatters the separate worlds they once knew.

Critic Reviews

"Amanda Lauer brings history to life in this fast-paced, emotionally charged, splendid tale. Extremely enjoyable." (May McGoldrick, international bestselling author of The Thistle and Rose, Secret Vows and the Highland Treasure Trilogy)

“The South of 1864 springs to life in A World Such as Heaven Intended. Rich in details of language, setting and social mores, Lauer takes readers on the journey of her protagonist, Amara McKirnan, a strong woman ahead of her time who wrestles with her blended family and the horrors of the Civil War to find the peace and happiness she is convinced awaits her.” (Marni Graff, author, The Nora Tierney Mysteries)

A World Such as Heaven Intended is a fast-moving historical romance which will keep you turning pages until the very end! An excellent read.” (Patrice Fagnant-MacArthur, author, The Catholic Baby Name Book)
