As the battles of the Civil War rage on, the Confederate army finds
itself further and further behind. So many men are wounded, and the new recruits
are looking either too old or too young. But the Northern invasion of Virginia isn't
the only problem Jeff Majors is facing! Leah Carter is in Richmond, and Jeff can't
understand why she's all out of sorts - just because she saw him at the theater
with another girl! And as Captain Majors, Jeff's widowed father, finds relief from
his loneliness in a growing friendship with pretty Eileen Fremont, and Jeff doesn't
want a stepmother! Jeff learns a lot about love and family loyalty in this exciting
tale of the Civil War.
