As the Civil War raged through a divided land, Lida Rinehart felt safe in her simple Amish world - sewing, cooking and dreaming. Then, one dark night, her brother died helping John Sexton lead runaway slaves to freedom and her serene homespun life was no more. Lida had been taught to obey; now she decided to rebel. Plunging into an unknown and more perilous world, she struggled to carry on her brother's work and battled with her own heart. For as the war intensified all around her, so did her feelings for rugged, mysterious John Sexton.
