Written by former columnist Lee Ann Newton and Civil War researcher and Fort Sam Houston Garrison Chaplain James A. Benson, Beneath The Shadows is a historical novel set amid the fury and bitterness of the American Civil War. A shopkeeper called to serve his country in the war and the headstrong daughter of wealthy German immigrants are just two of the people swept by destiny and forces far greater than themselves. An epic, far-reaching saga that makes the tension of history come vividly alive through the eyes of ordinary men and women.

Couldn't put it down!!

This book grabs your attention and holds it from the very first sentence. I was completely taken away to another time and era and didn't want to put the book down. If you are in a reading slump and want a book that will pull you in and introduce you to characters that are real and writing that is brilliant, then this is the book to read.

Couldn't put it down!

I love historical fiction and this first book in a new series is riveting. I stayed up till 4 in the morning until I was finished and then felt like I wanted to run out and get the next one! I highly recommend this to historical and literary fiction readers alike. The time travel element is well done and makes it even more intriguing. Jennifer - Washington

Compelling and Provocative

I started reading it and could not put it down. I do not read may books let alone in one sitting. The characters are warm and well created. You are led to care for them from the beginning. This first novel whetted my appetite for the rest of the series. I recommend this book to everyone not just the Civil War enthusists
