Widow of Gettysburg - and a Giveaway!

In 2006, my family visited Gettysburg. A sobering, fascinating day. This battle stands as one of the most famous in American history for sheer scope and tragedy, but also because it changed the course of the Civil War and of the nation.

When the battle descended on the small town in Pennsylvania, civilians were trapped. Jocelyn Green's Widow of Gettysburg is the account of a fictional young widow, Liberty Holloway, whose home is captured and used as a Confederate hospital. One of the patients, Silas Ford, intrigues her, but she can't even comprehend romance with a Rebel. Meanwhile, Bella, a free black woman, desperately tries to avoid being caught by the Southerners, and reporter Harrison Caldwell experiences the direct horrors of the battle.

A triumphant tale of identity and forgiveness. Widow of Gettysburg shows us the full sweep of that famous battle, from the men on the battlefield to the civilian women whose lives and homes were overrun by history. Through unforgettable characters, impeccable research, and an intricately woven plot, Jocelyn Green drew me in and didn’t let me go. Do not miss this story!

Although this is the second book in the Heroines Behind the Lines series, Widow of Gettysburg stands alone.
