My Review:
Surround Me is book two in Marguerite Martin Gray’s Revolutionary Faith Series and the first book that I have had the pleasure of reading by this author. This was a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. Ms. Gray has a unique writing style that is all her own and one that you will enjoy especially if you enjoy reading Historical Fiction. I highly recommend reading book one, Hold Me Close before reading Surround Me.
Surround Me continues the story of Louis and Elizabeth. Louis is returning to Charles Town, a colony in South Carolina and is facing obstacles surrounding his engagement to Elizabeth and a city questioning its role in a volatile resistance to British rule. With so much uncertainty going on, will Elizabeth and Louis’ relationship stand a chance, will Louis’s commitment to God stay firm?
I received a copy of this book for free. No favorable review was required. All opinions expressed are my own.
About the Book
Returning to Charles Town, Louis faces obstacles surrounding his engagement to Elizabeth and a city questioning its role in a volatile resistance to British rule.
As the dark curtain of the rumors of revolution threatens to descend, Louis Lestarjette pursues his relationship with Elizabeth even as the emotion and physical struggles set the course for a life of changes. Will his commitment to God stay firm or will the tide of change cause fear and flight?
The chance of reconciliation with England moves further out to sea leaving Elizabeth Elliott on the shores of surrender to a greater challenge. Although others of unwavering courage give her strength, she must choose to allow God’s love to surround her. How can she enter into a marriage during a time of uncertainty? Will selfish, safer options take her away from Louis and his love?

Guest Post from Marguerite Martin Gray
About ten years ago I stood in the front bedroom of my parent’s antebellum house listening to my father tell stories about his ancestors–my ancestors while waving around a silver candlestick–my eight times great-grandfather’s gift to his bride. A story was born and I was off to Charleston, S.C.
