Description
A Captivating Civil War Novel Inspired by True Events and #1 of this Award-Winning Series
War brought them together, but one lie holds the power to separate them forever.
Western Virginia’s Kanawha Valley is a hotbed of rebellion tensions and mixed allegiances. Amid talk of war, Augusta Dabney tends her younger siblings and dying father. But when hatred sparks tragedy, peace is but a shattered memory. Heartbroken and desperate, Augusta searches for a way to protect all she holds dear.
Defying family and friends, Dr. James Hill declines a prestigious commission in the Confederate Army to join the Union cause as a Regimental Surgeon. When the Dabney farm becomes a crossroads of colliding forces, Major Hill commandeers their barn for a hospital.
He is running from his legacy, seeking penance for his past.
She is desperate to preserve hers, at any cost.
As a wise, former slave nurtures James’ battered faith, cynicism crumbles, and James discovers grace and belonging with Augusta and her family unlike any he’s ever known.
But when he comes face to face with his past, secrets unravel until deception ends in disaster, leaving Augusta with only one option.
And it is unthinkable.
