Jenny Clarkson and Micah Peterman survived the worst that war can inflict and emerged deeply scarred. Now Jenny sits in jail, awaiting execution for a crime she did commit, having lost everything but the will to live. And Micah emerged from the horrors of Andersonville, having lost everything but the will to die. Marriage to Micah can save Jenny's life. Can marriage to Jenny save Micah's soul? Can love grow between them, filling the vast empty spaces of their hungry hearts, and can they stand together against forces that threaten to separate them from each other and from reclamation of the love and hope they have begun to build together?
