About the book:
Cordelia Owens can weave a hopeful dream around anything and is well used to winning the hearts of everyone in Savannah with her whimsy. Even when she receives word that her sweetheart has been lost during a raid on a Yankee vessel, she clings to hope and comes up with many a romantic tale of his eventual homecoming to reassure his mother and sister.
But Phineas Dunn finds nothing redemptive in the first horrors of war. Struggling for months to make it home alive, he returns to Savannah injured and cynical, and all too sure that he is not the hero Cordelia seems determined to make him. Matters of black and white don’e seem so simple anymore to Phin, and despite her best efforts, Delia’s smiles can’t erase all the complications in his life. And when Fort Pulaski falls and the future wavers, they both must decide where the dreams of a new America will take them, and if they will go together.
My review:
This is a wonderful historical romance!
I love the main characters. They are very well developed. The author did a great job of including what it was like for the slaves as well as the children of the slave owners at the start of the Civil War.
I enjoyed seeing how Delia and Phin both matured and grew as the story progressed. It was interesting to see who influenced each of their lives.
I am giving this wonderful story a rating of 5 stars. I highly recommend it.
