Echoes of the Falling Spring

by Dody Myers

Abby Kennedy is a strong-willed farm girl from the small border town of Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. An act of violence against her family induces her to become a Yankee spy and vow vengeance against anything or anyone Southern. Confederate Captain Ford McKenzie has been betrayed by one woman and promises that it will never happen again. Besides, he cherishes his plantation home on St. Simon Island and cannot imagine life anywhere but in the Deep South. Echoes of the Falling Spring follows the dual love stories of Abby and Ford, and their slave and servant, Esau and Ila. These two couples struggle to keep love and hope alive during the terrible conflict of the American Civil War.

[Brenna · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great historical fiction novel. More meaningful to me because I live on St. Simons Island & Dody Myers is a member of the bookclub I am in. Very well written with wonderful descriptions of what the civil war was like for both sides.
