Grant, determined to see the siege through to victory. Hailey Kaye Faulkner, the spirited daughter of a proud Southern family, watches her world crumble as the city starves and the Confederate lines weaken.

With meticulous historical detail, author Winfield Scott Warren captures the human cost of the siege—both on the battlefield and in the hearts of those who endured it.As starvation tightens its grip and surrender looms, Jeb and Hailey must face the impossible choice between loyalty to their cause and devotion to each other. Will the peace that follows the war offer them a chance at happiness, or will the scars of the conflict prove too deep to heal?A story of resilience, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love, Beneath the Vicksburg Sky is perfect for fans of sweeping Civil War sagas, evocative Southern settings, and romances that shine brightest in history's darkest hours.
