About the Book
When soldier Caitlin McKae woke up in Atlanta after being wounded in
battle, the Georgian doctor who treated her believed Caitlin's only
secret was that she had been fighting for the Confederacy disguised as a
man. In order to avoid arrest or worse, Caitlin hides her true identity
and makes a new life for herself in Atlanta.
Trained as a teacher, she accepts a job as a governess to the daughter
of Noah Becker, a German immigrant lawyer, who is about to enlist with
the Rebel army. Then in the spring of 1864, Sherman's troops edge closer
to Atlanta. Caitlin tries to escape north with the girl, but is
arrested on charges of being a spy. Will honor dictate that Caitlin
follow the rules, or love demand that she break them?
