I gave Waiting For His Return 4 stars only because I am not a fan of Civil War stories. Carrie as always created wonderful characters in a believable plot. I did enjoy the story. The story itself along with the excellent writing causes me to give this novella a 4. I always look forward to Carrie's stories.
I was given this book by the author for review purposes. All thoughts are my own.

The daughter of a wealthy Tennessee doctor falls in love with an injured artist-correspondent on assignment to cover battles near Union occupied Nashville.
The year is 1864 and the Civil War rages on, impacting families in the North and South. British born James Galloway, a special artist for Harper’s Weekly, travels with the Union troops, sketching battle scenes to bring war news home to those in the North. It’s dangerous work, but he is committed to the Union cause. When he is captured by Confederate troops, he spends several months in a prison camp. Finally, he escapes and travels north, hoping to reach the Union lines, but a bushwhacker attacks him, steals his horse, and leaves him seriously injured at the side of the road outside of Nashville.
Rachel Thornton, a kind-hearted doctor’s daughter, takes James into her home and nurses him while he recovers. Her feelings for James grow, but she has already lost one man she loves in the war. How can she give her heart to James, when she knows he may become another casualty of the war? With Christmas coming, will James return to Rachel or will she be left waiting for his return?
This novella was originally published in A Blue and Gray Christmas. It has been revised and updated for new readers to enjoy.
