AUTHOR

“Beautifully written
post-Civil War love story."

"The story is about the healing, redeeming
power of love after the chaos and pain of war,
not simply in the relationship between Annie
and Michael, but also in bridging the divide
between North and South."

“Farrelly develops the
characters so well
and handles their internal
crises (and mutual
desire) so eloquently."

"A great read from beginning to end. Fast moving, engaging plot,
likable (and hate-able) characters, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and great romance."

"A heart melting, pulse racing, beautiful piece of literature.
The emotion invested in the love between Annie and Michael
jumps off the page and utterly wraps you up in their story,
from tender start to fulfilling finish."

'em...).
