Conecuh

I have read other books from Herb Hughes. Conecuh was one that I was looking forward to reading. I was honored to have the opportunity to read it. I thought it was a pretty good novel. It is set during my favorite time period in history. Before I started, I was surprised that this story was based on a true story, and I was intrigued to find out what the author had in store with the characters. I enjoyed going on this journey with them. I thought the author did a fantastic job with the details of the time and I could vividly imagine being right there as events unfolded. I wanted to keep reading to see what would come of Emily Rose and Caleb. It was not one easy to put down. Overall, it was a great story to read and wonderful way to spend some time away from the chaos of every day life and going back in time for a little while. I am giving Conecuh a very well deserved five plus stars. I believe fans and readers who enjoy reading historical fiction, particularly set post American Civil War. I would love to read more books like this one by the talented author, Herb Hughes, in the future to see where else his imagination will go to next. I received a paperback copy of Herb Hughes’ Conecuh from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
