Renowned author Bonnie Rose Ward, best known for her memoirs depicting life in the Alaskan wilderness, announces her fiction debut with the inaugural book of the Christian Historical Romance series, “Daughters of Appalachia.” Her latest offering, “Loving Beth,” is available now.

“Loving Beth” whisks readers back in time to post-Civil War America. It centers around the life of Beth McCullough, a young woman struggling to keep her family farm outside Rosewood, West Virginia, after the death of her parents. With a farm on the brink of loss, the responsibility of two mistreated children, and her life endangered, Beth must rely on her faith in God’s miracles and the potential of newfound love.

In the form of Jacob Wallace, a man plagued by past tragedies and ensuing bitterness, Ward introduces a love interest fraught with complexity. He must reconcile his own past before he can open his heart to Beth. In the heart of Appalachia, their intertwining story showcases a journey of trust, faith, and the power of God’s mysterious ways.

A courageous woman, a bitter man, and God’s plan.

Bonnie Rose Ward said, “Drawing from my husband’s old family stories and our shared experiences living a self-sufficient lifestyle, I felt inspired to create a series that pays tribute to the rich Appalachian tales of struggles, strength, and faith-driven love. ‘Loving Beth’ is the first step in this journey.”

Ward’s memoirs, chronicling her years living in the Alaskan wilderness, have earned critical acclaim for their authenticity and evocative storytelling. “Loving Beth” promises to deliver the same level of emotional depth, set against the historical backdrop of post-Civil War America.

“Loving Beth” is available now on Kindle and in paperback on Amazon. For more information on Bonnie Rose Ward or her new series, “Daughters of Appalachia,” please visit BonnieRoseWard.com.

About the Book

In the shadow of the Civil War, strong-willed Beth McCullough fights to keep her family’s farm in Rosewood, West Virginia, afloat against a backdrop of heartache and mounting debt. In the throes of her struggle, she encounters the enigmatic Jacob Wallace, a man burdened by a past love and the solemn promise to his dying wife—never to love again. Yet, Beth’s resilience and fierce spirit strike a chord within him, one he can’t ignore. Upon his return, rumors tarnish Beth’s reputation, causing a bitter rift between them. Unbeknownst to Jacob, Beth wages a parallel war to protect her home, two vulnerable children she’s taken under her wing, and against looming threats against her life.

The essence of their story lies in faith’s beacon amidst chaos, the question of space in Jacob’s barricaded heart for an emerging love, and the journey towards trust, intertwined with the divine mystery of God’s ways.

This story is a testament to the divine power of trust and faith as they traverse the tumultuous path towards their shared destiny, all the while navigating the mysterious ways of God and the blossoms of an unexpected romance.
