Description

By Love Divided: A Story of War and Family Ties In 1630, Lucy St.John's life is turned upside down when she makes a desperate choice to secure her family's future. Her daughter Luce rejects the royal court and arranged marriage, instead falling in love with a charismatic Parliamentarian. As England teeters on the brink of civil war, Luce's brother Allen joins the Royalist cause, leading to a devastating rift within the family. As war rages across England, Lucy, Allen, and Luce are swept up in the chaos, facing brutal battles and sieges as they fight for their opposing causes. Based on surviving memoirs, court papers, and letters of Elizabeth St.John's family, this powerful novel tells the story of a family torn apart by war and the heart-wrenching choices that come with it. A true historical account, By Love Divided explores the complexities of love, loyalty, and survival in the midst of England's great rebellion.
