Publisher's Synopsis
Eugenie Remy's spirit remains buoyed as she writes frequent love letters to her departed husband while making her way cross country once more to return mementos to her deceased husband's grieving mother. Sidestepping robbers, Indian attacks and drownings, an arrival in Providence, Rhode Island relieves her so. But wait, there's more! Becoming a conductor of the Underground Railroad, she casts aside reason and falls in love with the escaping slave she's meant to save. And he's closely pursued by a long ago tormentor of hers. All three face off as the gruesome Civil War rolls on. Who survives? Does Eugenie slip the noose of tragedy once more? She is a flame, a guiding light, wavering some, not always right. May her influence reveal that hatred and violence serve little that empathy and cooperation can't cure.
