Description
One blood-stained token. A thousand miles of war. A love that refused to say goodbye.
In the summer of 1863, the Mississippi runs red with the Siege of Vicksburg. For Glenda Lee Holland, a daughter of Southern aristocracy, the war is a distant thunder. Until the lace handkerchief she gave her husband on their wedding day returns to her.
Soaked in blood.
With no official news and the world she knew collapsing, Glenda makes a harrowing choice. Trading her silk gowns for a soldier's gray coat and her family name for the alias "Slim," she vanishes into the smoke of the Confederacy.
From the mud of the trenches to the haunting silence of field hospitals, Glenda's journey is one of grit and transformation. Side-by-side with a young messenger boy and hardened artillerymen, she must navigate a landscape of fire and betrayal to find the truth. But in a world where thousands are lost to nameless graves, can one woman's devotion bring her husband home, or will the war claim them both?
