Trials of the Heart

Elizabeth Campion is torn between her beliefs and her loyalties when the North and South clash in Memphis, TN. But she faces a loss other than the near 200 casualties. A heavy blow to the heart, the young woman must become head of the estate when her uncle is arrested. With her life in shambles and the weight of the war pressing down, she struggles to find clarity and peace. Waking to the stillness of an unfamiliar room without any recollection of how he arrived, Tom Murphy is only aware of the pain that seizes his body and mind.

No longer afraid, Elizabeth Campion is determined to speak out for what she believes is right. Though her heart fills with joy at her uncle’s release from the notorious Irving Block Prison, she must now keep her letters to Tom a secret. Time in prison has taken a deadly toll on her uncle, and with Tom in constant danger, the young woman struggles to keep her eyes on God. When her world is torn in two, Elizabeth must learn to hold fast to faith in a new reality.

Overcome with grief, Elizabeth Campion must learn to move forward on her own. When Joseph Fredericks, the young soldier she met at a Christmas party two years ago, offers a business deal to save her home, she accepts with hesitation.
