Far & Away is a series by Elizabeth Camden that begins with Meet Me in Virginia (2025). Camden is a RITA Award and Christy Award-winning author who writes Christian historical romance grounded in detailed research. She holds a master’s degree in history and works as a research librarian, and that background shows in her fiction.
Meet Me in Virginia is set in early America and follows Camden’s established pattern of pairing a strong romance with a specific historical setting and conflict. Her previous series have explored Gilded Age New York, the construction of the Panama Canal, and other ambitious periods of American history.
Camden’s readers value her for the level of period detail she brings to each novel, along with stories that take their characters’ faith seriously without turning preachy. This is the first entry in the Far & Away series, and readers familiar with her work will know what to expect: careful history, genuine romantic tension, and an inspirational thread running through the story.
