商品簡介
May 1865 With the death of the Riverbend Plantations owner, the slaves gone to make their homes in other parts of the country, and the only heir in Europe, only one older coupled remained on the property with their daughter. They refused to leave the only home they had ever known to raise the remaining Hatcher orphans. Samantha, oldest of the orphans sitting in the dark in an upstairs window-seat focuses on a horse with a body slumped across the neck. Running downstairs to the veranda she finds herself facing a badly wounded Yankee soldier. Her hatred begins to war with her Christian faith, but the deep convictions of her biblical beliefs win the battle and she hides the injured soldier tending his wounds without ever telling anyone. News of Yankee soldiers raiding Hartwell, Georgia, and news of other soldiers searching nearby for their missing colonel, frightens Sam. When she is certain the family is asleep, she moves the soldier patient to the solider camp. Thinking she is rid of the northern intruder, Sam tries to put the wounded man out of her thoughts, and dreams. Weeks later, two men appear at the door. Sam recognizes that one is not a stranger. He made it clear that he is searching for his Angel-of-Mercy. Evil criminal deeds of the returning heir, the rescue by the cussed Yankee, and family secrets revealed Sam's gauging of blue and grey changed slightly. Will the cussed Yankee find his angel? How will Sam handle her emotions, thought, and dreams as times change?
