For refusing to pick up a gun for the Confederacy, Clayton Holland
was branded a deserter and imprisoned during the war. When he returned home to
Cedar Gove, Texas, he was given a coward's welcome, spurned by everyone in town.
To Meg Warner, Clay's presence was a constant offense: a betrayal of the cause
for which her husband and brothers died.
As punishment, she commissioned Clay, a talented sculptor, to create
a memorial to honor Cedar Grove's fallen heroes, hoping that every name he
carved into stone would carve remorse into his heart. But as Meg spent months
watching Clay work, she began to see strength instead of cowardice. And she
discovered that a hero could be found in the most unlikely of men. That passion
could be sculpted from a heart hardened by bitterness. And that sometimes--like
courage--whispers instead of shouts
"Heath offers a tender Civil War romance that manages
to give a fresh twist to that conflict and powerfully portrays another side of
courage...With it's unconventional, heart-wrenching hero, this slow-building
story plays on every emotion--guilt, anger, honor, and ultimately, love." --
