- Synopsis
- The Georgia plantation owners living in the shadow of Yankee-occupied Atlanta knew the worst was yet to come when the dreaded General William T. Sherman began his march to the sea. Lorena Selby was alone—a delicate, dark-eyed girl whose fragile beauty belied a boundless courage and a war-sharpened cunning. She knew that her beloved Selby Hall lay directly in the path of the onrushing armies and that she would soon be facing Sherman’s savage, plundering “conquerors.” But the tall, smiling Pennsylvanian who arrived at Selby Hall was not the fearful invader Lorena had expected, and suddenly she—so ready to defy an entire army—found herself weakening toward one lone Northern soldier.... Frank G. Slaughter again reveals his masterly storytelling abilities in this gripping novel of the Civil War-torn South. Lorena is an unforgettable heroine—beautiful, passionate, faced with a challenge that only a woman of her remarkable strength and spirit could meet. Here is Frank G. Slaughter, one of America’s leading historical novelists, at his exciting best.
