"Flying in the face of tremendous prejudice against women in uniform, Selene Weise joined the army in 1944 to serve her country, ultimately as a cryptographic technician in forward areas, but even her family was embarrassed to see her in uniform when she returned on furlough. Becoming one of a select group of Women's Army Corps women who served with the Signal Corps in the Asia Pacific theater of operations, she now shares her story. With memories suppressed for many years, and her letters forming the basis for this work, Ms. Weise has written an unforgettable story of courage and determination."--

During the War Between the States, James McCormick, an Irish-Catholic immigrant in Potsdam, New York, works for a carriage manufacturer and wants to marry Annie Cutting, the boss's daughter. Cutting hires James to take his place in the war, promising that James and Annie can marry when James returns. Tensions build when it appears Cutting will not keep his word, James becomes jealous of another man, typhoid fever strikes James's regiment, and the battles rage on. Can love survive? The actual history of the 60th New York State Volunteer Regiment and accounts of its battles at Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, and Lookout Mountain weave through the words of a soldier from Company A in this wartime love saga.
