Across the Rappahannock River lay Union General Burnside's Grand Army ready to strike but little does Colonel Calvert realize that his daughter's sympathies are not for the Army of Northern Virginia but with the Union to which she long ago pledged her faith and when, several days later, she finds a badly wounded Union Officer dying in her barn, she must struggle to keep his presence a secret from her father, his returning men and her Yankee-hating family who have just refugeed from Fredericksburg to winter at Oak Field, the Calvert homestead.

What twists of fate bring him to the Calvert home makes for one of the most unusual stories every told of the Civil War.

Biografía del autor
This is my first novel which I began in 1992, finished in 1997 and have been fine tuning ever sense. It is one of three historical novels still being completed; one about WWII and one which takes place in tenth century Europe and China. Throughout my life I have been a consummate reader of a wide variety of genre's but particularly biographies and history (particularly military history) as has lead to my novel about events in the lives of my characters leading up to the Battle of Fredericksburg. My story was inspired by many impressions and historical characters, among them by the lives of three brothers who fought for the Union during the war and who were most heartrendingly influential and to whom I am dedicating my story. I was a member of a small writer's group in the 1990's and traveled widely in Canada and the United States during my years of Civil Service with the US Navy and Naval Reserve; and to Germany, Austria and Switzerland while I was writing and researching my novel of WWII. I am now retired and ready to complete my writing projects. I was born in Long Beach, California and have lived in Ventura County all my life. Married with no children, I hold an Associate Degree in Liberal Studies.
