My Review ~

The Civil War has separated Charity and Mitchell Davis for two long years. In the interim her two sons have gone to war, and her former farm help and close neighbors have fled, leaving her virtually alone. Mitchell was seriously wounded by a bullet through the chest, but he fervently prays for God to grant him just one more day to spend with his beautiful wife. God grants him that request, and his injury heals miraculously, and his strength is restored after being escorted home by his regiment as they travel through the area. Mitchell and Charity spend every moment together as their day is blessed with overtures of love and joy. Scripture is interwoven throughout this story of love that leads to a harmonious dance of interlacing spiritual and pleasurable communion.

Murray Pura chronicles an enticing and poignant moment in time as man and wife take pleasure in every moment possible, weaving spiritual components with the rites of marriage. Poetic and fluent, the narrative is harmonious and musical in quality. Murray creates a succession of ethereal events that evoke a depth of charisma in this novella.  Breathtaking!
