Synopsis

Centuries apart, two strong women fight for the men they love in this inspirational split-time novel.
Sahara Dawn married a man she didn’t fully love, only to find, over a decade later, she can’t breathe without him. The problem is, he seems to have given up on their marriage, having taken a job across the country, and is in no apparent hurry to return to his wife. Desperate to make things right and inspired by a distant relative who fought as a female soldier in the Civil War, Sahara leaves everything familiar behind, learns a new trade, and sets off to win back Jaxon’s heart. But is she too late?
Bernice Reisenfeld loves the life she and her husband Hermann have built together on their sheep farm in rural South Carolina. But when the Civil War breaks out, everything changes. Despite her desperate pleas for Hermann to stay out of the conflict, he enlists. After growing up with a grandfather embittered by war, she can’t stand to see her husband succumb to the same fate. Dressing up like a man, she enlists as well, determined to find Hermann and bring him home. Only she finds far more than she bargained for. Will she make it home with her marriage and her heart intact?

I enjoyed reading this dual-timeline novel by Sarah Hanks. In the present day we meet Sahara who is determined to fight for her marriage to Jaxon, who she thinks no longer loves her. In fact, she cuts her hair and joins his construction crew on the other side of the country. However, as we get to se......more

I definitely recommend reading this book. Sarah Hanks has written two wonderful stories in this split time novel - 2 different women with the same goal: “She had to fight for what she loved. What she believed in. This land. Her dreams. Her husband. That was the real war. And it was a battle worth fi......more
