Two sides. Two hearts. And a gulf between them as deep and wide as eternity.
“This tale brings a turbulent time to life with nuance and sensitivity.”
JOCELYN GREEN, award-winning author of the Heroines Behind the Lines Civil War series
Virginia, 1861
After being forced to use a pistol against invaders, Evelyn Mapleton is no longer the timid girl her extended family expects. The more her aunt and cousin resent her new independence, the more Evelyn is determined she’ll make her missing father proud by taking up his cause and aiding Confederate soldiers–even if she has to outmaneuver the Yankees guarding her home to do it.
Samuel Flynn’s life is consumed with two priorities: learning to become a proper guardian for the young orphans he’s adopted and obtaining his physicians license. When his final testing sends him to a Federal Army field hospital, the last thing he expects is to be entranced by a mysterious woman. But when Evelyn’s misguided exploits put her life in danger, will he risk everything he’s worked for to save a woman he thinks is his enemy?
Based on first-hand accounts from the Civil War and with a strong romantic thread, this is a tale of faith, espionage, hope, and courage historical fiction fans won’t want to miss.

"I swear, Evelyn Mapleton, you would be a fine catch for the theatre. Tell me, is it hard for you to fabricate such a persona or does it come easily?"
Never once did Evelyn Mapleton intend to put herself in the middle of a "space as wide as eternity", it just happened that way. Living in the much conflicted state of Virginia, where loyalties were wildly diverse in the midst of a young nation's civil war, she flees one place of supposed refuge in order to find another. But safety can be as fleeting as a wisp of smoke, especially after her path continually crosses with that of a young medical resident, Samuel Flynn. Just which Evelyn Mapleton can she manage to be, when kind, assessing eyes seem to follow her every move in his hospital; his very Federal hospital.
The first time Samuel Flynn laid eyes on Evelyn Mapleton, she emerged from the edge of a deep wooded forest, much like a fairy princess out of a child's storybook. But he soon learned that an iron will resided within the dark haired beauty, for the explanation of her whereabouts made absolutely no sense. Imagine his surprise when she appears once again, this time as a hospital volunteer, taking great care of his patients and confusing his heart, especially when her loyalties prove to be divided.
Stephenia McGee has taken a seemingly impossible possibility and crafted it into albeit dangerous, but satisfying reality when she dares to weave a determined secessionist into the life of peace keeping federalist, displaying history from a new, and possibly better, perspective.
