A rich Southern boy, an escaped Yankee prisoner, and jealous Jeff Majors
are all vying for Leah Carter's attention. A blockade-running sea captain, a beautiful
rebel spy, a gunboat in hot pursuit, and the words of Scripture hitting like a hammer
all add to the ongoing story of Jeff and Leah's tumultuous world during the Civil
War.
