Publisher's Synopsis
Luke and Caroline may have wed too quickly. Captain Luke Talbot requests a transfer to be near his widowed grandmother and to nurse a broken heart. Hoping marriage to an appropriate Southern belle will heal his pain, he chooses a shy preacher's daughter. Surely she would never betray him. Caroline Pierce never dreamed someone like Luke Talbot would propose. Ignoring any misgivings, she marries the dashing captain and looks toward her happily-ever-after. But soon their marital bliss turns into civil strife as they disagree on everything from slavery to faith. As Union forces lay siege to Vicksburg, will Luke and Caroline allow God to strengthen their love before it drifts away with the river?
