A World Such as Heaven Intended
Amara McKirnan and Nathan Simmons share a devotion to their Catholic faith but their loyalties lie on opposite sides of the Civil War. Dedicated to the Confederate cause, Amara offers to help out at her uncle’s makeshift hospital in Atlanta. Fate brought Nathan to their doorstep and into Amara’s life. Little does Amara know that the wounded soldier she cares for harbors a secret that will not only jeopardize his life but hers as well.
Follow Amara and Nathan’s story from the heart of war-torn Atlanta to the Northern Georgia battlefields to the plains of East Texas as their lives become intertwined in a way that shatters the separate worlds they once knew.

Critic reviews
"Amanda Lauer brings history to life in this fast-paced, emotionally charged, splendid tale. Extremely enjoyable." (May McGoldrick, international bestselling author of The Thistle and Rose, Secret Vows and the Highland Treasure Trilogy)
“The South of 1864 springs to life in A World Such as Heaven Intended. Rich in details of language, setting and social mores, Lauer takes readers on the journey of her protagonist, Amara McKirnan, a strong woman ahead of her time who wrestles with her blended family and the horrors of the Civil War to find the peace and happiness she is convinced awaits her.” (Marni Graff, author, The Nora Tierney Mysteries)
“A World Such as Heaven Intended is a fast-moving historical romance which will keep you turning pages until the very end! An excellent read.” (Patrice Fagnant-MacArthur, author, The Catholic Baby Name Book)

If you like romance and history this is for you. It’s very clean and traditional as far as romance in civil wars times. One of my favorite parts is how Amara defies all boundaries and studies her uncles medical books and starts assisting him in the hospital with complicated surgeries. (I’m currently a medical student so this was really fascinating)
I love the length that Corporal Simmons goes to protect Amara when they find themselves in a spot of danger more than once.
I applaud Amanda for using some Cherokee. Two words to be exact. I am Cherokee myself and I have been learning the language for over a year. While I am not an expert I do know that those words are pronounced wrong. That is my only issue with it but it’s just a personal one and it in no way detracts from the rest of the story.
Other then that, this is beautiful story. I love books about history with another story intertwined. I actually end up learning a lot about history and what happened from these types of books. And it done in a fun way that keeps my interest through the whole story.
Wonderful piece of history
