ABOUT THE BOOK
When a horrific battle rips through Gettysburg, the farm of Union widow
Liberty Holloway is disfigured into a Confederate field hospital,
bringing her face to face with unspeakable suffering--and a Rebel scout
who awakens her long dormant heart.
While Liberty's future crumbles as her home is destroyed, the past comes
rushing back to Bella, a former slave and Liberty's hired help, when
she finds herself surrounded by Southern soldiers, one of whom knows the
secret that would place Liberty in danger if revealed.
In the wake of shattered homes and bodies, Liberty and Bella struggle to
pick up the pieces the battle has left behind. Will Liberty be defined
by the tragedy in her life, or will she find a way to triumph over it?
Widow of Gettysburg is inspired by first-person accounts from women who
lived in Gettysburg during the battle and its aftermath.
