In a time of war, love has to fight for a happily-ever-after.
Millie Gibson has loved Troy McNeil for years. So when he suddenly confesses his attraction to her, she’s ecstatic, even if their time together is limited as Troy must stay on the move to avoid the Confederate army. When Troy rescues her from an attacker, Millie begs him to replace the awful memory with one of love. But will that love last when he learns their time together produced lasting consequences?
Dodging the Rebel army has kept Troy apart from Millie for months, but he can’t forget their last hours together. The last thing he expects upon his return is to find her surrounded by Union soldiers, and now he’s been apprehended as a possible spy and sent to a Union prison. With his fate in the hands of others, only God can orchestrate hope from the chaos of war.

More from Susan
Millie and Troy captured my heart while writing *Rescuing Rose*, and I knew their story had to be told. It was inspired by people close to me—but generations apart–who had a similar experience. *Managing Millie* is loosely based on those.
The challenging part for me was remembering that these characters are very young (16 and 19) and thus plagued by a wide range of volatile emotions and hormones. The decisions they make seem to defy logic at times. Like many young women, Millie tries to grasp control of her life amid difficult situations. Troy is more easy-going, merely trying to stay one step ahead of the Confederate Army until he ends up in a Union prison. Suddenly forced to face his responsibilities, he learns to “man-up” and take charge. His
greatest task, of course, is learning to “manage” Millie without destroying their love for each other.

My Review
I enjoyed the first two books from Susan Pope Sloan’s Rescued Hearts of the Civil War series and was excited to read the third installment, Managing Millie. This one is by far my favorite of the series. I loved the theme of love, faith, hope, and the heartaches of war. I wanted to keep reading to see what would become of Millie and Troy. This is a story I had no problem reading in one sitting. I loved it.
Managing Millie will be getting five stars from me. I recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical fiction, particularly set during the American Civil War. I am hoping to read more books from Susan Pope Sloan for years to come.
I received a paperback copy of Managing Millie from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
This looks like a page Turner. Thanks for hosting!
