It's 1864 and Libby Steadman fears every day that her land will become the battleground between the Union and the Confederates. Her husband Peter was captured and held in a Union prison camp but his letters have long since stopped coming and she fears him dead. She's left running his gristmill with only her young niece and two freed slaves. When she finds Union captain Jonathan Weybridge gravely injured and left for dead she risks everything to save his life.
This story was tense and full of action, with the fear of discovery on every turn of the page. Based on true events, this is a story of courage and heroism. It's well written and the characters are well developed. I've loved every book I've read by this author and this one was no exception. I recommend this to anyone who likes historical fiction.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
