Beneath the Shadows

The American Civil War forever altered landscapes and families above and below the Mason-Dixon Line. Rather than find themselves torn apart by the ravages of war, the families of Caleb Wright, a shopkeeper's son from Indiana and Lydia Weldishofer, the daughter of wealthy German immigrants, would become inexorably linked through far more than mere geography and politics. Caleb fights for his country, his honor, and even his life, while Lydia throws caution and her reputation to the wind in pursuit of her heart's desires.As war rages, lives are lost, souls are tested, and family secrets born and buried. Mattie Wright, a dismal, petulant woman of Appalachia, finds herself swept along on the words of an ancient prophecy. Her life begins to intersect with those who went before and the family secrets begin to unravel.The journey begins...Newton, Lee Ann is the author of 'Beneath the Shadows' with ISBN 9781583850763 and ISBN 1583850767.
