Synopsis

The year is 1776, early on in the Revolutionary a time of fevered fighting in the North but in the South, as yet, only a low, sporadic belly grumble. But in time that will all change. In the Carolinas this war is, and will continue to be, more a civil conflict — one of divided loyalties and families torn asunder. It is a war pitting brother against brother — or as in this case, brother against sister. Meet Kathryn Cameron hers is a world of adventure rife with passion, grief, joy, guilt-ridden sorrow, fulfillment and loss.
