description: Charlotte Vance is a young woman who knows what she wants. But when the man she planned to marry joins the Shakers--a religious group that does not marry--she is left dumbfounded. And when her father brings home a new wife who is young enough to be Charlotte's sister it is more than she can bear. With the country--and her own household--on the brink of civil war this pampered gentlewoman hatches a plan to avoid her new stepmother and win back her man by joining the Shaker community at Harmony Hill. Little does she know that this decision will lead her down a road toward unforeseen peace--and a very unexpected love.Ann H. Gabhart brings alive the strikingly different worlds of the Southern gentry the simple Shakers and the ravages of war to weave a touching story of love freedom and forgiveness that sticks with readers long after they have turned the last page.
