Streams of Courage - Sandra Merville Hart - Bog

In a world turned upside down by war and betrayal...will his role as a spy bring them closer...or tear their future apart?

The war that Julia Dodd prayed to avoid is now reality, and with it, her world has been turned on it's head. Her fellow citizens, who stood with her in their support of the union, have crossed firmly to the side of the south. And her mother, lost in her grief over the loss of her husband and children, can think of nothing but protecting Julia's brother's inheritance. She insists that her daughter seek a wealthier husband than Ashburn Mitchell.

Ash knows what his fellow citizens think of him when he refuses to fight for the confederacy. Shouldering the accusation of being a coward and refusing to hide behind his limp, Ash remains in Vicksburg to support his family as a saddler while his two best friends join the fight. Struggling to increase his business so he can marry the woman he loves, Ash becomes a spy in support of the Union. He can't fight for the South but won't raise a musket against them.

As tragedy instigates Ash to risk greater danger to speed the end of the war, Julia can only pray it won't cost them everything. She's already lost her father and two siblings. Must she lose the man she loves too?
