What can I say that all the other reviewers haven't already stated? This short novella was a pure joy to read. Without going into the details of the story, which so many have done here, let me just say that I found myself completely enamored with the story, the characters, the secrets and mystery, the endearing love and the history!  The author's exquisite attention to historical detail will make this a delight for all historical fiction readers. The romance will draw in those of us who are die-hard romantics, and the suspense will keep the rest of you itching to turn the page. All in all, a well written, fascinating look into life on the Shirley Plantation in Virginia during one of the worst times our country has experienced. Despite the horrors of war, you'll come away feeling satisfied and hopeful and longing for more.
