Having never heard of this author, but searching for civil war historicals, I came across this wonderful book. Set in the waning days of the civil war, an honorable, dedicated, war-weary confederate doctor heads home to his wife and child, only to find she has gone off with another man taking his child with her. In his search for them, he runs into the widow of a man whose life he saved and who needs his help but refuses to accept his help. I love the characters and the story line but mostly I'm touched by the hardship and sacrifice that people went through and the continued hardship needed to start their lives over after the horrible trauma that befell them. It's a well written, sensitive love story with witty dialogue.
An adventure, touching book, the ending was beautiful!!!!!!!
