For all who have suffered great loss of heart, home, health or family; true home and genuine lasting love can be found.

When a horrific battle rips through Gettysburg, the farm of Union widow Liberty Holloway is disfigured into a Confederate field hospital, bringing her face to face with unspeakable suffering—and a Confederate scout who awakens her long-dormant heart.

But when the scout doesn't die, she discovers he isn't who he claims to be.

While Liberty's future crumbles as her home is destroyed, the past comes rushing back to Bella, a former slave and Liberty's hired help, when she finds herself surrounded by Southern soldiers, one of whom knows the secret that would place Liberty in danger if revealed.

In the wake of shattered homes and bodies, Liberty and Bella struggle to pick up the pieces the battle has left behind. Will Liberty be defined by the tragedy in her life, or will she find a way to triumph over it?

Inspired by first-person accounts, Widow of Gettysburg is second book in the Heroines Behind the Lines series. These books do not need to be read in succession. For more information about the series, visit www.heroinesbehindthelines.com.

      Liberty Holloway, 19, is already a widow, having lost her husband during the Battle of Bull Run. On July 1, 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg breaks out, and Liberty's inn is turned into a makeshift hospital for wounded enemy Confederate soldiers. She does what she can for the doctors, assisting them with amputations and giving what comfort she can to the fallen, including Johnny, who is not who he claims to be. Will she lose her heart? VERDICT Well-developed characters and attention to detail make this a winning sophomore entry (after Wedded to War) in Green's historical series. Fans will be pleased. Recommend it to readers of Gilbert Morris.
