About this listen

Two young women in a land shattered by war test the limits of their strength

Lovely Julia Hoffman has always enjoyed the carefree life of her well-to-do Philadelphia family. But when she fails to attract the attention of Nathaniel Greene, a fierce abolitionist, she shocks her family by becoming a Union nurse.

Will that be enough to win Nathaniel's heart?

Phoebe Bigelow, from western Virginia, has always been a misfit, and when her brothers join the Union army, she also enlists—under false pretenses.

Soon, both have their eyes opened to the realities of war and suffering. Neither is quite ready for the demands of her new life, but their journeys of sacrifice and love are sure to change them in unexpected ways.

Really enjoyed this book. It was my first book by this author and I was not disappointed. It had everything ~ drama, courage, sacrifice, hard choices, love and so much emotion. I loved the characters and the way they matured through the book. The descriptions of the battles totally transported me to that moment in time. An excellent narrator just finished off this book perfectly for me.

Great book!

A gripping novel that really helps you understand the various emotions that the main characters must have gone through, and gives a great insight into what it must have been like living in the Northern States during the 1860s from different viewpoints. This book speaks directly to your heart and makes you question whether you would have conformed to societal expectations or allowed God to lead and transform you.
