History takes on vivid life in the stunning first full-length installment of USA TODAY bestselling Tamera Alexander’s new series, The Carnton Novels.

“The beautifully-drawn characters and rich history in With This Pledge work seamlessly to demonstrate that Christ’s love and romantic love can triumph even in our darkest moments.” —Lynn Austin, bestselling author of Legacy of Mercy

What can a woman—a mere governess—do against the scourge of slavery

Elizabeth “Lizzie” Clouston’s quietly held principles oppose those of the Southern Cause—but when forty thousand soldiers converge on the fields of Franklin, Tennessee, the war demands an answer. The Carnton home where she is governess is converted into a Confederate field hospital, and Lizzie is called upon to assist the military doctor with surgeries that determine life or death. Faced with the unimaginable, she must summon fortitude, even as she fears for the life of Towny, her fiancé and lifelong friend.

As a young soldier lies dying in Lizzie’s arms, she vows to relay his final words to his mother, but knows little more than the boy’s first name. That same night, decorated Mississippi sharpshooter Captain Roland Ward Jones extracts a different promise from Lizzie: that she intervene should the surgeon decide to amputate his leg.

Lizzie is nothing if not a woman of her word, earning the soldiers’ respect as she tends to the wounded within Carnton’s walls. None is more admiring than Captain Jones, who doesn’t realize she is pledged to another. But as Lizzie’s heart softens toward the Confederate captain, she discovers that his moral ground is at odds with her own. Now torn between love, principles, and promises made, she struggles to be true to her heart while standing for what she knows is right—no matter the cost.

From the pages of history and the personal accounts of those who endured the Battle of Franklin, Tamera Alexander weaves the real-life love letters between Captain Roland Ward Jones and Miss Elizabeth Clouston into a story of unlikely romance first kindled amid the shadows of war.

“Tamera Alexander has once again given readers a beautifully written story full of strong characters and tender romance—all while staying true to the actual history of the people and events she describes. From the horrors of war to the hope of blossoming love, Lizzie and Roland’s story will live in my heart for a very long time.” —Anne Mateer, author of Playing by Heart

Thoroughly engaging!

Reviewed in Australia on 18 January 2019

The first book in Tamera Alexander’s new series is a thoroughly engaging read from first page to last and brings home both the personal and collective cost of war. I became almost as attached to some of the soldiers Lizzie tended as she did, even shedding tears with her at various times during the story, and I have nothing but admiration for Lizzie and for the countless women and men who have done as she did throughout the pages of history: stepped up to assist with the medical and emotional care of wounded soldiers.

I love the historical research that goes into Tamera Alexander’s novels, and this one is no exception. In fact, it was even better, knowing that so much of this story was based on what really did happen at Carnton following the Battle of Franklin—even the developing relationship between Captain Jones and Lizzie. It also takes a writer of keen insight and sensitivity to set stories in the South during this time period without either demonizing all who fought for the Confederacy or minimizing the injustice and inhumanity of slavery, and I particularly loved the way Captain Jones grappled with his beliefs and practices regarding owning slaves as the story progressed.

But beyond its historical aspects, it was the relationships that hooked me into this novel: the dedication Lizzie showed towards the wounded soldiers, fighting not just to save their lives but to restore their spirits and fulfil last requests; her determination to treat Tempy and George as equals in humanity, if not yet in social status, regardless of what it might cost her; and her struggle to keep her promise to Towny, even as she recognised her regard for Captain Jones was moving beyond simple friendship.

This is a definite must-read for lovers of Civil War fiction, and highly recommended for all other readers besides.

I received a copy of this novel from the publisher. This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.

A little too long but a solid and enjoyable read

Reviewed in Australia on 12 February 2019

I could only give this book 4 stars. Let me say I am a big fan of Tamera Alexander’s books. I did love this book but it lost one star from me as I felt it was too long. The story was quite deep and confronting, which wasn’t a problem, except it was a long time to be in that place. It was a heavy read for me but thoroughly enjoyed it. Try reading the novella Christmas book first although not necessary for the series.

Excellent writing once again

I have never yet been disappointed by Tamera Alexander’s fine storytelling ability and this account of the battle at
Franklin Tennessee was moving and poignant whilst allowing the strength of the characters’ convictions and conscience to move from the bleakness and horror of the war to the realisation of the need for a new beginning.

Learned a bit about the civil war that I didn't know before. Good read, but not spell-binding.

Good historical romance

Reviewed in the United States on 13 January 2019

If one is contemplating purchasing a T. Alexander book , do it. Alexander is a good story teller and With This Pledge is one of her better books. I've read most of her works and enjoyed them all. Tamera does a good job drawing the reader into the Battle of Franklin during the Civil War. One can read the devastation and heart ache war brings and can comprehend the saying "War is Hell". This story is told from a Southern perspective however not once is slavery is acceptable .( Interesting to note there is more slavery today than in the time of the Civil War if one considers the atrocity of human trafficking and the sex slaves which exist today. ) This is a well told and researched story and in the end I was surprised to read that most of the characters were real and most of the letters were from actual letters from this battle and from it's victims. If one is looking for a GOOD historical clean romance set in the time of the Civil War I highly recommend this book.
