Love Again — Susan Blackmon

Theodore Whitmore doesn't realize how badly he needs a change in his life. Recently widowed, he is a writer for a New York paper struggling with his grief and the care of his young son. His boss, Bob Jenkins, more friend than employer, offers an assignment he can't resist in the hopes of helping Theodore cope with his melancholy. What starts as a summer sabbatical in Key West, Florida turns into an extended adventure embroiling Theodore in the Great Seminole War. Can peace be found for the country and the turbulence in his heart? Love Again is set in a time when our country is young, arrogant and expanding, but a political storm is brewing over slavery. In the midst of this heyday with its dark undercurrents, Theodore finds his loyalties tested. His patriotism collides with the injustice perpetrated on the indigenous people and their brutal retaliation against the pioneer settlers of Florida. Can Theodore remain true to his beliefs and avoid taking sides in the midst of the swirling conflict? This is the second book in the generational series Love in Key West blending facts and fiction to entertain readers and highlight the fascinating history of Key West, Florida.
