Description
Pre-published ARC / uneditied version
A Riveting Civil War Novel Inspired by True Events and #3 of this Award-Winning Series
Not all heroes are born of battle—some are born of sacrifice.
War has a way of changing a man, taking more than he has to give. Zander Dabney finally joins in the fight, but army life is not what he expected, and it seems impossible to escape his hero-brother’s shadow. When Zander finally gets the chance to test his mettle, the horrors of battle shatter his faith and leave him questioning everything—even what he thought he knew about his brother.
Lola Wade has her hands full with the mercantile, a precocious little brother, and a cunning thief. Despite her chaotic life, Zander has captured her heart. But he needs more than her love to confront his inner demons and fractured faith.
In a whirlwind of deception, the enemy attacks the town and garrison, leaving death and destruction in its wake and forcing Lola to make a heart-wrenching decision. But this was no ordinary attack, and the evidence Zander has falls on deaf ears.
Betrayal plunges Zander into a nightmare of injustice and a perilous ordeal of sacrifice and endurance few can survive.
He needs a miracle. A lot of them.

Jeanne C, Reviewer
I loved it! Excellent historical fiction, I am impressed with the scope of the author's research and her beautiful storytelling. This riveting story is inspired by true events.
Zander Dabney, a tender soul, who up to this point has only been participating in army drills, soon comes face to face with the evils of war in a horrific battle. " A sob caught in his throat and tears stung the backs of his eyes. There was no name for what he felt just now. He was numb. Just numb. Words that should have been directed to his Maker crumbled to dust and scattered to the wind." His Sergeant said "I have a son a few years younger than you. I'd give my life to protect him from what you went through yesterday."
Such a difficult time in history. This beautiful story captures that devastating time, with honesty, and hope. From the horror and difficulties of war, how to cope with faith in the face of evil and betrayal, a sweet romance with the shopkeepers daughter Lola, funny little brothers, the love of family, and Rampart his trusty horse. I couldn't put it down.
Thank you to the author for allowing me to read an early copy. All opinions are my own. I highly recommend this series for historical fiction lovers. So happy to hear there will be another series where the stories of this family continue!
