"It's such a peaceful February in the Rockies that no one could guess - least of all young Charlene Peace - that hundreds are still dying as the Civil War rages on in the South. Nothing could have convinced Charlene, half Crow Indian, to leave her mountain home until the handsome, hazel-eyed Boone Manwaring delivers his earth-shattering news. Then, just as opposing generals Ulysses Grant and Robert E. Lee are gathering their troops for a showdown in Virginia that could mean the end of the Civil War, Charlene and Boone are propelled to travel south toward Richmond, the seat of the heaviest fighting."--BOOK JACKET. "As the danger of being "Northerners" in the South grows, Charlene and Boone must decide whether it's worth the risk to stay and fulfill their mission. What they discover in the process may end or change the course of their lives - forever."--BOOK JACKET.
