Welcome to the Blog Tour & Giveaway for With This Pledge by Tamera Alexander, the first full novel of the Carnton series, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
Title: With This Pledge
Series: Carnton, Book 1
Author: Tamera Alexander
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
Release Date: January 8, 2019
Genre: Historical Romance
History takes on vivid life in the stunning first full-length installment of USA TODAY bestselling Tamera Alexander’s new series, The Carnton Novels.
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.

I’ve read quite a few of Tamera Alexander’s books, including the novella for this series, so I’ve come to consider her a “must read” author.
Tamera is one of my favorite historical fiction authors!
I feel shallow for immediately wanting to read this when I read “Franklin, Tennessee” just because I know where that is.
Congratulations on your book Tamera! I just finished, reading it a couple days ago…love it!
Blessings, Tina

As a Tenneessean it’s always great to read a story based upon real events that happened in my state. Even though they maybe heartbreaking.
Thanks for the chance.
Love Tamera’s books. Have been looking forward to reading this one. Thanks for the hop!
Love the cover can’t wait to read this book.
I’ve read very few historical fiction books actually based on a true story of main characters and I love it. I live in North Alabama two hours from Franklin, TN and this story hits close to home for me. I’ve numerous ancestors that fought in the Civil War for the South as well as the North. The reasons behind which side they picked still confuse me. I know that some were opposed to slavery yet still fought as Confederate. This book sounds intriguing.
Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of Tamara’s book! So looking forward to reading it!
Such an interesting premise. I can’t wait to check it out! Thanks for the giveaway!
Another new-to-me author. I love the sound of this book. Thanks for the chance to win.
