Tides of Healing

By Sandra Merville Hart

Description:

A Southern belle fights to reclaim her home, but will her spying destroy the Union officer she never meant to love?

Savannah Adair has endured the unimaginable, hiding in a cave while her beloved Vicksburg was under siege. With the city now occupied by Union soldiers, Savannah cannot stand by and do nothing. So when one of the gaunt, half-starved Confederate prisoners asks her to spy for the South, she can’t refuse the chance to take back her home.

First Lieutenant Travis Lawson takes pride in the Union army's hard-fought victory, but he quickly realizes that the challenges of rebuilding and reconciliation are just beginning . . . and not everyone is appreciative of changes he’s making. Namely, the fiery and alluring Savannah Adair. Despite their differing loyalties and the societal divide between them, Travis cannot deny the growing feelings he has for her. When he is tasked with finding Southern spies in Vicksburg and he captures a female spy, Travis is forced to consider that the woman he’s beginning to love may be the enemy.

Book Takeaway:

I recommend that books be read in order. Books 4 - 6 are new characters where the three heroines are friends. The stories start at the beginning of the Civil War where Vicksburg becomes a Union target early on. Tides of Healing, Book 6, begins when the Union army marches in to take over the city after a long siege. Savannah is one of the starving citizens who endured the siege from a cave within Vicksburg. Union First Lieutenant Travis Lawson is proud of his army's hard-fought victory. They clash on the first day of surrender, July 4, 1863.

Why the author wrote this book:

When I learned that a terrible Civil War battle and siege in Vicksburg, Mississippi, caused its citizens to cease celebrations of our country's Independence Day for about a century, it made me want to dig deeper into the history. What I learned about their suffering sparked the ideas for Books 4 - 6 in my Spies of the Civil War Series. Tides of Healing is Book 6.
