In the wake of reconstruction, tensions are still high
throughout the former Confederate States as they rejoin the Union and heal.
Women are in mourning and former soldiers are slowly finding their way home
from the battlefields and prisons.
As a former Confederate prisoner of war, Phillip Anderson is
on his way out west when he is forced to stop in the sleepy town of Savannah,
Tennessee. Longing for a fresh start in St. Louis, he takes a job to make the
money he needs to cross the Tennessee River. The town is the same as all the
other towns he’s passed through on his journey west. What he doesn’t expect to
find is a widow who is secretly still mad at her husband for dying.
Rachel married Colton Williams at the tender age of sixteen.
Losing Colton at the Battle of Shiloh less than a year later filled her with anger.
As the war comes to its devastating end, she finds the anger is still lodged in
her heart. Every displaced soldier journeying through town tugs at her heartstrings
as she tries to heal along with the nation. What she didn’t expect was one of
those passing soldiers to find out about her anger at her dead husband.
Phillip and Rachel have both experienced extreme loss, but
life has a way of healing even the deepest hurt and anger.
Two broken souls meeting in the dusty streets of
Savannah
