When Darcie and Walter Goodwin hear of a new cholera epidemic sweeping the area, they join the Shakers whose villages seem immune to the disease. It's meant to be a temporary stay, but Walter is killed in a riverboat accident. With no family and no money, Darcie has little choice but to stay with the Shakers. To complicate matters, she is expecting a baby conceived before she and her husband came to the Shaker village. Marital relationships are considered sinful in this celibate community, putting Darcie in a unique--and lonely--position. Can the arrival of widower Flynn Keller and his headstrong daughter offer Darcie the hope of happiness ... and family?  
  
Ann H. Gabhart returns to the enigmatic world of the Shakers in this emotional exploration of the power of love and the bond of family.

    The Refuge

    I would not class this as a romance novel, just historical fiction. The characters who end up together barely talk during the story. This is more about historical life and struggles. I was a little uncomfortable with the """"Shaker"""" setting and wanted the story to progress faster. They seemed to be more of a cult, with obviously un-biblical beliefs. I suppose the author did her research as it did match up to a google search when I was done. The friendships that develop were heart warming and the growth of some was encouraging. Well written just not really romantic at all.
