Historical, Romantic

From the author...Historical events in this novel set during the Civil War are true, and certain officers placed in particular battles are real, however, the primary characters and their personal stories are fiction. It is my hope that readers will understand that many of the opinions expressed in this novel about slavery and racial prejudice are not my own. I have strived to show the beauty, intelligence, and strength of black Americans, while at the same time realistically portraying the situation as it was in our country just before, during, and after the Civil War.
