When soldier Caitlin McKae woke up in Atlanta after being
wounded in battle, the Georgian doctor who treated her
believed Caitlin's only secret was that she had been
fighting for the Confederacy disguised as a man. In order
to
avoid arrest or worse, Caitlin hides her true identity
and
makes a new life for herself in Atlanta.
Trained as a teacher, she accepts a job as a governess to
the daughter of Noah Becker, a German immigrant lawyer,
who
enlists with the Rebel army. Then in the spring of 1864,
Sherman's troops edge closer to Atlanta. Though
starvation
rules, and Sherman rages, she will not run again. In a
land
shattered by strife and suffering, a Union veteran and a
Rebel soldier test the limits of loyalty and discover the
courage to survive. Will honor dictate that Caitlin and
Noah
follow the rules, or love demand that they break them?
