Rebel Far From Home: An American Civil War Novel

by Gina Danna

As the US Civil War nears its bloody end, their own civil war is just beginning….

Spring 1864 - Emma Fontaine has had enough. The hateful Union Army has murdered her family and destroyed her home. And now it has called her West Point husband back to serve, leaving Emma alone to raise their children amongst the constant harping from her vindictive mother-in-law. Desperate to regain some sense of happiness, Emma takes her children and flees her husband’s Louisiana plantation to return to her Virginia homeland. But the war is not over yet. Between the very real and dangerous battles she must get through as well the people she encounters along the pathway, Emma realizes she may never regain the longed-for life she’s lost and her hatred of all things Union is sealed.

Despite being born and raised in Louisiana, Jack Fontaine has always been loyal to the Union. He hates leaving his cherished family behind but, for the good of their future, he must do his part to help the Union succeed. When he gets word of Emma’s flight, his mission to advance to the Eastern Theater takes on new urgency. Yet when he finally reunites with his beloved wife, he discovers his blue uniform may be the thing that destroys her love for him. And as the final, wretched battles of war grow closer, he’ll have to fight like never before to save not only his country, but win back his wife’s love— a battle he must win!
