Publisher's summary

Adam, a Southern gentleman, knew the call to arms was near when President Lincoln asked for 100,000 men to stop secession and rebellion in the South. He joined the Union Cavalry - but not before he married his best, and only, friend.

Abby, an Irish immigrant that settled with her family in Virginia, was as Southern as you could get. When her husband announces that he had joined the Union cavalry, she couldn't believe what she heard. She supported the decision of the one person that she loved more than the world itself.

As the war raged on, things weren't always as they seemed. Abby's sisters joined in the Southern cause, working to keep the way of life that the South had always had. Through grief, pain, and battles Abby keeps to the one place that she felt closest to her husband - the cottage that their families had given them.

A scene in time. An epic battle. And a tale of how love (through all of its forms) can transcend life and death.

Wonderful civil war story — Three readers convey a great experience!

This novel approach to a civil war story with THREE wonderful readers sweeps through the fields of battle with great detail and wonderful characters.

Full of historic detail, tragedy, and life.

This was an interesting story full of rich, historic details revolving around the Civil War. It was told in basically three parts, each one centered around one of three sisters. There were moments that I had tears in my eyes as family were separated, battles were fought, and scenes described in detail. Abby, then Taylor, and finally Mackenzie did their part (home defender, soldier, and spy) during the war. I enjoyed the story, but I felt there were a couple of inconsistencies by the time we reached the third perspective. It took something from the story, but overall, I still enjoyed it.

Narration by Marnye Young, Allyson Voller, and Taylor Meskimen brought this story to life. I loved the accents for the different characters, and they brought out the emotions of the characters.
