The Civil War was drawing to its bitter close, and runaway slaves were streaming across the Union lines by the thousands, fleeing the ravaged plantations of the South. Elizabeth Whitley, a courageous abolitionist dedicated to seeing them build new lives as free men and women, desperately needed help. She found a reluctant ally in Quinn Erskine, the Union officer whose unwelcome duty it was to care for the runaways. And she found something more -- a fine man, torn by divided loyalties, who held in his tender embrace the promise of a love that could rise from the ashes of war.
