A Civil War love story that took place in the Fredericksburg area. Great read. This is the last one of a trilogy.

I enjoyed the historical aspects of this book but was disappointed with the plots. My disappointment started with the affair of Amanda and Wil and escalated with the death of Alice. I had a hard time focusing on the last chapters because I mourned for Alice and wondered who Amanda was going to end up with. Amanda has always irritated me and even more so with what she did to her husband and her sister. I did like how Alice guided Wil after she passed on but I wish he had appreciated her more when she was alive. Both Amanda and Wil needed a good spanking. Book two was my favorite in the series.

Loved this 3rd book in a Civil War Historical fiction series by Kim Murphy-hated for it to end. Loved all the characters and descriptions about reconstruction
