When America shatters during the Civil War, Elizabeth Van Lew risks everything to save our embattled Union.

As an elite member of Richmond society, abolitionist Elizabeth Van Lew delivers food to starving Union prisoners at Libby Prison, risking her status and her life. She soon exchanges coded messages, coordinates daring escapes, hides fugitives in her mansion, and smuggles them up North.
