Cordelia Owens can weave a hopeful dream around anything and is well
used to winning the hearts of everyone in Savannah with her whimsy. Even
when she receives word that her sweetheart has been lost during a raid
on a Yankee vessel, she clings to hope and comes up with many a romantic
tale of his eventual homecoming to reassure his mother and sister.
But
Phineas Dunn finds nothing redemptive in the first horrors of war.
Struggling for months to make it home alive, he returns to Savannah
injured and cynical, and all too sure that he is not the hero Cordelia
seems determined to make him. Matters of black and white don't seem so
simple anymore to Phin, and despite her best efforts, Delia's smiles
can't erase all the complications in his life. And when Fort Pulaski
falls and the future wavers, they both must decide where the dreams of a
new America will take them, and if they will go together.

homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and
pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew
of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of
years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her
books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary. She and her
family make their home in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. You

My Review
Once you turn the cover you will be quickly drawn in, and warning, this story just keeps getting better and better!
The
time is the beginnings of the Civil War, and we are in the deep South.
We are mainly with the Dunn and Owens families, and their in love
offspring, Phin and Cordelia, and life that tries to tear them apart!
Warning,
you are about to begin a journey that spans Continents, near death,
loss and found, and you will be quickly page turning for answers, and
hoping for their survival!
I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Bethany House, and was not required to give a positive review.
