Women's Fiction
In this stunning holiday story, a cache of
Civil War-era letters and diaries sweeps the ladies of
Covington up into a dramatic and heartwarming historical
saga that inspires them to plan an unforgettable Christmas
for two families forever changed by
war.
When a rusty old tin box is
unearthed at the Covington Homestead, longtime housemates
Grace, Amelia, and Hannah discover that it contains letters
and diaries written by two Civil War soldiers, one Union and
one Confederate. The friends are captivated by the drama
revealed. The soldiers were found dying on a nearby
battlefield by an old woman. She nursed them back to health,
hiding
them from bounty hunters seeking deserters. At the end of
the war the men chose to stay in Covington, caring for their
rescuer as she grew frail. But while their lives were rich,
they still felt homesick and guilty for never contacting the
families they'd left behind. Christmas is coming, and the
letters inspire Amelia with a generous impulse. What if she
and her friends were to find the two soldiers' descendants
and invite them to Covington to meet? What better holiday
gift could there be than the truth about these two heroic
men and their dramatic shared fate? With little time left,
the ladies spring into action to track down the men's
families in Connecticut and the Carolinas, and to make
preparations in Covington for their most memorable, most
historic Christmas yet.
