When President Polk suddenly announced that war with Mexico was inevitable and Grant, who had just graduated from West Point, is sent to Mexico, his plans to marry Lydia are put on hold.

      Grant Smith and Lydia Reynolds seemed destined to marry until the Mexican-American War intervened. Grant, an army officer, is reported killed, leaving Lydia devastated. When Grant returns after years in a prison camp, he is shocked to learn that Lydia has married and moved out west. He also marries another but doesn't forget his first love. Years pass and Grant's daughter becomes a mail-order bride to a pastor out West, which eventually leads to Grant's reunion with Lydia. Although the Christian message is at times heavy-handed, this intriguing look at an exciting time in American history should please romance fans, especially those who liked the earlier titles in the series (e.g., A Time To Love, Multomah, 1998). For larger collections.
