About This Book

A young Southern woman becomes the focus of a wartime love triangle between a daring, charming suitor and a steadier, less ostentatious admirer; their rivalries and affections unfold amid hospital wards and social life during the Civil War. A desperate naval mission brings heroic sacrifice and provokes a charge of treachery that threatens her standing. The narrative blends comic romantic tensions with a tragic military episode, culminating in a confession that clarifies events, the arrest of the true culprit, and characters confronting loyalty, courage, and the consequences of misunderstanding.
