Jackson promises his dying friend that he'll take care of his sister, Leah. Though he's never met her, he already adores the Leah he imagines from their grandmother's letters. While fulfilling that promise, he finds that his adoration was merely kindling.

While the idyllic life of the antebellum world was being destroyed by the enemy, Southern women did what they had to do to survive the Yankee invasion. These are the stories of heroines who lost their hearts amidst the turmoil going on around them. Out of the destruction, love blossomed and flourished leading to happily ever after. North and South. Blue and Gray. Enemies and Lovers.

A Good Story

A great Civil War romance set near the end of the conflict. Jackson takes leave to visit his newly-deceased's family of his fate after being given the charge by his best friend to take care of his sister. I enjoyed how the author portrayed the attraction between him and Leah. The action gave me a sense of the struggles of family living near battlefields as the two find themselves caught between two armies as Jackson tries to get Leah back home. I enjoyed the theme of letter-writing throughout the story.

Uh oh. Good story but disappointed.

Enjoyable story, but the publisher is doing a disservice to the author by putting out this book before it is ready. There are missing words, and typos, and double negatives, and a name mix-up. I was just getting comfortable, when I got hit right off in chapter 1 with editing problems. It IS a nice story, but oh my!

3.5 stars, sometimes the language is a bit too modern. The characters forget their supposed to be in the 1860s. The romance is easy enough and the characters are like able. Some situations they find themselves in are a bit far fetched.
