Gripping historical fiction

Lost in the Storm by Tamera Lynn Kraft is an intense and emotional story set during the Civil War, a volatile time in our country when families were torn apart not only by death but by different beliefs and convictions. Lavena is determined to be a career journalist and has set her sights on an interview with Captain Jones. He certainly is a hero and yet one who has refused to grant any interviews. Why? What is he hiding? Will Lavena be able to sort out her distrust of men to see the truth? And what happens when one realizes that tragedy has occurred because of one's mistakes? Can that be forgiven? Can one forgive oneself? The author has a vivid way with words and has written descriptive scenes that stir the reader's imagination. It is easy to tell that she has researched well the historical timeframe of the story and the heartwrenching subject of the Civil War and its effects on not only the soldiers but their loved ones as well. I found it interesting that there would be a female reporter at the front lines, basically a war correspondent, during this era. The story drew me in at the beginning and kept my interest throughout as it moves quickly and is infused with intense drama, emotional tension, and a sweet, but not untroubled romance. The main characters have depth and reality, and their emotions, strengths, and foibles resonate well with readers. Lost in the Storm is not a story for the faint of heart but it is a story of the very real struggles of courageous people with strong beliefs and who sometimes get lost in the pandemonium of those struggles.
