Gathering Shadows [Hardcover]

In 1860, Jessie Buchanan, a fiery redhead, was living life to the fullest and enjoying the leisurely Southern lifestyle, but it took all of her strength to fulfill her duties after her father's death. A breach between family members and the discovery of love caused her internal conflict as the Civil War began. When the war's horrors and hardships came to a close, the Southern way of life had been crushed by the Union. A murder of a Yankee carpetbagger, a hasty trial, a violent hurricane, and a close brush with death brought Jessie's turbulent struggles to an end.
