In Virginia, Sarah is auctioned to a kindly
gentleman to serve his eccentric wife. After she meets Dr. Alex Hutton, and is
loaned to him to help with his orphaned nieces, hope comes alive he will find a
way to free her. But when The Woodhouses go bankrupt and sell off all they own,
Sarah is sent away. She faces hardships in the wilderness, and is soon
surrounded by a family's whirlwind of secrets, praying the young doctor she
loves will find her again and bring her freedom.
‘Praise
for 'Beyond the Valley'
Creating characters with intense realism and
compassion is one of Gerlach's gifts. Her books typically involve dramatic
situations, giving her characters a chance to rise above their adversity. Beyond the Valley is a shining example
of that, reminding us that we are never forsaken. This is the third in the
Daughters of the Potomac series. Sarah's character was introduced in the first
novel, Before the Scarlet Dawn, and now she has her own heart-wrenching story
that takes us from England to Virginia and Maryland. The historic setting is vividly
descriptive, bringing the story to life, almost becoming a character unto
itself. You may shed some tears, but you'll come away with deep contentment and
satisfaction of a story well told. (Review in RT (Romantic Times) Book Reviews
