Charlotte Vance is a young woman who knows what she wants.
But when the man she planned to marry joins the Shakers--a
religious group that does not marry--she is left
dumbfounded. And when her father brings home a new wife who
is young enough to be Charlotte's sister, it is more than
she can bear. With the country--and her own household--on
the brink of civil war, this pampered gentlewoman hatches a
plan to avoid her new stepmother and win back her man by
joining the Shaker community at Harmony Hill. Little does
she know that this decision will lead her down a road toward
unforeseen peace--and a very unexpected love. Ann H. Gabhart
brings alive the strikingly different worlds of the Southern
gentry, the simple Shakers, and the ravages of war to weave
a touching story of love, freedom, and forgiveness that
sticks with readers long after they have turned the last page.
