Review on House Tenafly Road by Karen Lewis

Life gets complicated when Civil War veteran and morphine addict John Weldon marries a suburban McCullough family on the eve of Reconstruction and the Indian Wars. First, how can he hide his addiction from the family who admires him? And how can he keep his position in the army? Probably most importantly, how can he break this habit so it doesn't destroy everything he's built? Book 1 in the series is a carefully crafted story that chronicles the life of a Civil War veteran returning to a world of peace. . The plot is compelling, the characters are real, and the setting is probably one of the best parts of the book. As a history buff, I couldn't tear myself away from it. Not surprisingly, it's the Editors' Choice of the Society of Historical Novels.
