The war was over and it was time to rebuild. But, everything had changed for Elice Weld. Her beautiful plantation home was in ruins, her parents dead and the man she loves had turned traitor and fought for the Union instead of the Confederacy.So it was with trepidation when she saw Micha at her doorstep looking as handsome as he remembered him albeit he had lost a lot of weight. The battlefield is now in her home and her heart.Elice still took Micha's breath away. The war was not kind to her; hell, it was not kind to anyone. But, he still saw the girl he left behind. He plans to woo her again and hope that she forgives him for being a Yank.***SPOILER ALERT***This story is straight from the heart. Told in a passive voice and as a first person account through Elice and Micha's eyes. Their thoughts tug your heartstings. Their memory of their past life, the war and of course the present. They never fell out of love but exhuming those feelings hurt. They also had to face the consequences of their actions when an unexpected visitor arrived in their plantation home. Elice and Micha found out that in war, there is something worst than death and it is cowardice.The author also gave the readers a glance of the devastation of the South due to the Civil War.
